>> You said "but to be frank i m really not satisfied by your answer coz the answer is not from a true believer but from a person who thinks freedom is more important than commandments of Lord "

What should a true believer do according to ypu ?

Should he push for laws to bayonet the unwed mother with her unborn child + laws to stone adulterers and adulteresses to death + laws that burn gays and lesbians alive + laws to shoot girls who have guts to choose their own life partners ?

If you think that is what Jesus wants me to do, you are wrong. I try to keep God's commandments, not that I don't fail. And I don't like to see gays and lesbians marrying around me, but I refuse to persecute them because I am myself not perfect, and judging is the prerogative of my God, and He will Judge accordingly at the right time.

Well I don't write to satisfy you. For starts you can try to keep His commandments yourself before bothering about others. Freedom is indeed more important otherwise you will have religious fanatics take over and pass the above mentioned laws . These fanatics will continue to bend, twist and break the law in private behind the sacred veil of religion. No body will dare to lift the sacred veil because there will be laws ( made by these very fanatics) against it. This is exactly what is happening in islamic countries where mollas have hijacked ignorant societies and continue to rule them with archaic laws. Maybe that will even satisfy you.
