I agree with you, my friend. As a devout Christian myself, I also uphold the ideals of personal sovereignty and individual freedom that Christ epitomized in his teachings. Christ did not force anyone to follow his path; rather, he presented a choice and allowed individuals to make their own decisions with respect to their faith.

Similarly, we too must recognize that our personal liberties extend beyond the stranglehold of any institution or group seeking to impose its will upon us. True freedom entails the power of choice - this means that people should have complete control over their lives until they choose to submit themselves to a higher power or governing authority.

It's important for all religions and political ideologies alike seek peaceful co-existence under universal principles such as choice and free-will. Ultimately, everyone has the right and responsibility for self-determination on this Earth!

Thanks for bringing up these insightful points from your perspective as a fellow Christian!
