You are talking about “forcing” people to believe what you believe and I would ask how are you any different than Islam? In my opinion, God using force is far different than you or I using force.

After WW I Germany was beaten, humiliated and spitefully punished by France and Britain. They were left with nothing not even hope. I doubt that many had to be forced to the Nazis, the Nazis offered pride, patriotism and strength.

Jimmy Carter was a weak man and very a useful dupe. He reminds me very much of what leads Europe today.

No, not simply what I believe in, what God himself believes in, and believe me, if he didn’t want Christendom, if he didn’t want to be the sole ruler of the entire world, he would NOT have had us go and spread the Gospel, he would have done to us like Jimmy Carter did to the Shah of Iran. You think God wouldn’t approve of force? He advocated the use of force all the time in the old testament, and even in the new testament, there was Jesus’s throwing out of the money-changers, which last I checked IS force. In fact, even by our interacting with each other, we’re forcing our views on to each other, there IS no way to not use force on others. That’s what the Enlightenment got wrong.

And the Germans WERE forced, ultimately, as when they started smelling that things weren’t right, it was far too late (and there have been PLENTY of Christian groups who spoke out against the Nazis and ended up dead because of it, so don’t try to claim that none spoke out against it or the German people weren’t forced into compliance).
