It's not the States responsibility to force people to trust Christ.

Where did I say it was?

Is it a Christians duty to stand by and allow society to go to hell in a handbasket?

DJ believes that Christianity is about achieving a certain level of moral behavior.

DJ believes that the State should enforce what DJ believes are the moral behaviors that are Christian.

Therefore the State should force people to be Christian.

No, it’s NOT the Christian’s duty to let society go to hell, handbasket or otherwise. HOWEVER, you as with many lazy or collectivist “Christians” seem to be under the misapprehension that GOVERNMENT should do YOUR job. CHRIST was and is about INDIVIDUALS: each INDIVIDUAL must accept God’s gift PERSONALLY; each INDIVIDUAL must be a witness of God’s redeeming love; each INDIVIDUAL must chastise sinners and lead them to God. NOWHERE does Jesus tell His own that we should get GOVERNMENT TO DO OUR JOB. If you call yourself a Christian, get up off your fat butt and DO YOUR OWN WORK. There’s a-plenty of it! Leave Government OUT of it.
