You say this like it's never occured to any of us to become a christian . Worse yet , like we've lived in some goddamed cave and never heard all of your tired propaganda . Believe it or not , sunshine , we know all about it . We choose not too , because it doesn't ring true to us . You're smarmy post is as rediculous as saying to G W Bush , "Well why not become a democrat ? The democratic party has a lot to offer you !" - Idiocy !

The point is we have freedom to choose , and many of us have chosen not to becomes xtians because we think it's crap . Our democratic societies offer us that choice and we have availed ourselves of it . However we feel that the subsiquent freedoms are not entirely there for us . Translation - You choose to observe the sabath on sunday and society allows you this freedom ; We choose to be able to work , buy porn , gamble , or drink ourselves silly on sunday and society limits us . Why should one chosen path be allowed/sanctioned/encouraged and the other limited ? No good answers to this have come up in this thread .
