It is like forcing a child to eat his spinach or brussel sprouts. Or, ordering a vanilla ice-cream cone for the child, not letting him choose his own flavor, because mom thinks she knows best. Of course, green leafy vegetables are high in nutrition. I happen to like brussel sprouts. But, my point is that such domination should not occur in religion. If religion is really what it claims to be, then it does not have to be forced. One religion does not have to be competitive with another. It is not a matter of convincing people or capturing them, but of becoming examples of transformation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
