My freedom ends where another persons freedom starts. I strongly believe in that concept.
That means I can be straight and walk in gay parades to support gay rights. It means I wouldn't be happy if my girlfriend someday would choose to have an abortion, but I'll support her decision. I don't consider killing myself, but I do strongly believe in the right on euthanasia. Etc, etc.
If I find Jesus, do I have to start thinking different as well? Do I have to be against all sorts of other people's freedoms?

It does seem that way doesn't it. But the heretics like me can manger to do both. You will find some of us in the Episcopal Church. We even have poker night and drink real wine. Come on over.

You're implying that Christians are against other people's freedoms. God gave us free will. Christians are only trying to enlighten people as to the truth of our existence. Anyone can sin all they want, but eventually they will pay the price. We as Christians don't want to see that happen to anyone. That's why we are so adamant about sin not running rampant in the world. We are only being obedient to God in calling people to Him.

Yew, you would DEFINITELY think differently!
You would probably be AGAINST abortion--Not supporting gays (even though Jesus loves them, too)--change your thoughts on people being killed on purpose.
Jesus changes your whole being--Your prayer life, your ways of thinking, your ways of reacting--EVERYthing!
