Exactly the core of the difference.

Unfortunately, many Christian FReepers (and Gov. Huckabee, for example) have also forgotten the methods and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and seem to believe that the government should be the instrument of forcing behavior (e.g., redistributing wealth, preventing assisted suicide, banning fatty foods, etc.)

Such FReepers would be wise to recall that Jesus didn't use His awesome power to force compliance, but rather taught his followers to shake the dust off their sandals and move on.
