LOL! Bob, someone has sold you a bill of goods about the nature of Christianity. On the one hand, you do not seem to grasp that ideas like "respect for your fellow man" and "tolerance" are foreign to the world- view put forth by Jesus and the Apostles.They are calling for repentance, warning against the dire judgment of God, asserting that faith in the Resurrection is the only way of salvation.It is pretty rough stuff!Some of that roughness was reflected in the harsh treatment of heretics during the Middle Ages and early Modern periods. Heretics endangered the soul of others, and therefore had to be forced to abjure or be executed. Eventually, the Wars of Religion became an intolerable burden, and various philosophers ( such as Locke and Erasmus) began to argue for toleration. By now, the idea of a right of private conscience has become pretty ingrained, even among Christians, and no one wants a free- for- all, especially not in America. But you have still refused to directly address my strongest arguments, and instead have talked about a practice that has been widespread for years as if it were the entering wedge of the Inquisition...
