I guess "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" does not extend to granting freedom of thought or conscience to others? Lioness, please examine your views. If you truly believe in freedom, then you should believe in the freedom for others to find their own way without interference from the state.

BTW, I am not a Christian but I fought and lost a leg in Nam. I fought and nearly died hoping to do my part to defend freedom. The VC and Chicoms hated the Vietnamese Buddhists and tortured and killed them just as they did the Vietnamese Christians. Freedom is for everyone, not just a select few.
