A small question on our society (touching on religion)...

[Ricemarine]

Well err... my teacher went through literature, and touching on the facts that we westerners are part of a christian society whether we like it or not. Even though we can choose our own religions, we still live under a christian made place... She touched up on the bible, and is not technically going into detail on religion, so its not offending anyone... Well, she brought of the story of Abraham and Issac, blah blah blah...

Then she brought up a point that sparked a question... The main dude (I rather not say G*D or whatever... cause... yeah.., main dude.. hehe.) shall punish all those who do not obey his wills and reward those who do...

Is he a dictator then? 🙂

No, He only has as much control over you as you give Him. It's called free will.
