I would be vehemently against anyone or anything trying to enforce a singular belief on the world. Then you are intolerant of Jesus Christ because he preached the very thing you just said you hate. By declaring himself as the only possible way for a person to get to God is a very narrow take on things wouldn't you agree....well wouldn't you? But let me tell you this, your knees shall bow and your tonque will confess that he is Lord. Chris

<<I do believe that if people were to respect the rights of others to believe as they wish, without inflicting physical or verbal harm on anyone, we would see a rapid decrease in war and hatred on this planet. Could God's will be anything else?>> As a youth I was raised Presbyterian(Not one of the traditional evangelical religions). As an interim pastor,for a short time, we had a retired Scott army chaplain who imparted to me his belief in two truths through all religions and that those truths may not be apparent to we lowly mortals. These truths of all religions were tolerance & love for other lives and a strength for when life goes missing or when its absence is nearing. His teaching was, if any religion helps we mortals toward these goals, a greater good had happened. I have attempted hold these truths my whole life.
