You are trying to stop me from living in my ideal world that is free of sin...you are forcing that upon me.
I fully agree with JesusWalks in that morals are subjective.
How is he affected by a strip club down the street from him? If they are like the ones here, they don't send out goons to drag people into them.How are you affected by strip clubs in the United States?

You are trying to stop me from living in my ideal world that is free of jesus and as much harrassment from religion as possible...you are forcing that upon me.You are trying to stop me from living in my ideal world that is free of sin and as much temptation to sin and enabling sin as possible...you are forcing that upon me.
Strength in numbers. Same argument used for generations to justify tormenting the minority, or even subordinate classes that aren't the minority (aparteid, women).What gives your desire for your ideal world priority over my desire for my ideal world?
Nobody gets to live in an ideal world. This is Earth! We must each give up some of what we consider ideal for the greater good of all.You are trying to stop me from living in my ideal world that is free of sin and as much temptation to sin and enabling sin as possible...you are forcing that upon me.
I don't think constantly violating the AUP of an online forum is liable to save any fluffy bunnies from the horrors at P&G.
And I did a database rollout for them once, there are horrors to be found. Some companies do take liberties with animals that they don't want you to know about.
But this is OT, so I stop now.
Ummm.. have you noticed what website you are on? If your ideal world is to be free from Jesus, then what are you doing here?You are trying to stop me from living in my ideal world that is free of jesus and as much harrassment from religion as possible...you are forcing that upon me.
Trying to convince christians that they should not force their beliefs on others. Precisely what this thread is about. Believe me, if that were to ever stop, no one here would ever hear from me again. And I would have no reason to think about religion of any kind for the rest of my life. I didn't think about it for 40 years, but the christian militancy of recent years has given me no choice.Ummm.. have you noticed what website you are on?

Maybe God is trying to get your attention? I am sure I am guilty of trying to force my belief on someone and I want to apologize to anyone I have done this to.

I am perfectly happy for you to pursue your religion out the wazoo, but your goal is to prevent me from persuing my own interests and desires, even though they have nothing to do with you.
The temptation to sin argument is bogus. In fact, it is pathetic. You want to punish me for your weakness.
If your faith is worth anything at all, you can stand up to temptation. If you can't, and your only solution is to remove the temptation, you don't deserve to go to heaven.
But I'm willing to settle for less than my dream world, yet you want to force yours. Yes, a jesus free world (or more precisely a jesus-believer-free world, as I don't believe jesus exists in the first place), would be better for me, but only because christians want to restrict my activities. If they did not do that, I would not care if jesus believers existed or not, or what they did with themselves.You dont understand what i am saying, you are saying I am "forcing" religion ony you, so if your ideal world came to be you would be "forcing" your ideals on me.
Whats good for the goose and all that.
Yes, we would be forcing the idea of maximal freedom on you. You don't like that; you don't want people to have the maximum possible freedom. We do. Sorry.You dont understand what i am saying, you are saying I am "forcing" religion ony you, so if your ideal world came to be you would be "forcing" your ideals on me.
Whats good for the goose and all that.
But I am willing to settle for this world.
I assume you mean aside from the stuff I already mentioned.So you are happy with this world the way it is? You wouldnt want to change anything?
I assume you mean aside from the stuff I already mentioned.
I would like for terrorism to stop.
I would like for overpopulation to stop.
I would like for petroleum dependence to stop.
I would like for world hunger to stop.
Why don't you expend your energy on stuff like this, rather than trying to ban porn and topless bars?
You honestly believe that the last one is as important as the others? Or is it just easier?Why cant I expend my energy doing all of them?
Because by banning topless bars and the like, you are doing precisely what the OP is about - forcing your religious beliefs on us.Why cant I expend my energy doing all of them?
