Do you believe that people should be forced into a single religion, or allowed to choose what faith they wish to practice?
Let's word this another way. I never felt comfortable or right in the Lutheran faith, the religion my parents tried to force me into at an early age. When I was old enough to understand religion, I decided to follow the Druidic religion. People say I'm wrong for not staying as a Lutheran and that I should switch back or be condemned. Would you force someone like me into a religion I don't wish to be a part of, or would you be happy to let me find my own path?
Personally, I feel the act of finding the religion one does or doesn't belong to is part of finding one's self. I'm not saying people should be banned from spreading information about their faith, but should refrain from the "You're going to hell for your faith," comments.
So what do you think? Religion: accept it through force, or the right to choose?
