Fundamentalists.
That true Christianity is more difficult than the road they've chosen, and requires more humility and thought, but it's worth it.

Good question, I'd have to call it grace, especially if it hinged upon salvation and an eternal relationship of the person that loved you enough to bring you to Himself in spite of your resistance to His ways. I believe this happened before the foundations of the world and a love for the Israelites. This was expanded to the Gentiles from the evidence in the New Testament that points to God's election through irresistible grace, which is a doctrine of Calvinism. You can call it "force" if you like, but why are they so happy?

First you would have to explain how you could force someone to believe something against his will . If you torture someone who thinks differently than you , you can make him say that he believes what you want him to, but in his mind he does not .

I wouldn't want to force anyone, but I'd like to encourage more respect of different ways and beliefs; mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. And of the value of those differences.

It would be the group known as the human race.
I would want them to believe that the human race is God. And there should be no other gods before them.

No one has the right or ability to force their own beliefs on anyone else.
Maybe that's what I would like for everyone in general to understand.

I would like everyone in New York State to believe they each owe me $5,000.
