@ocrdu, thank you for that response.
I have dealt with many who take great offense that God would try to restrict their choices in life with His laws, so that was the viewpoint that I was writing from.
That is why I like to make sure to include things like "in my opinion" when I share about things like this.
Funny then, that when you replace "God" with "the group they want to belong to" in your first sentence, they don't take any offense, because they voluntarily accept that group's belief system. My personal morals also restrict my choices in life, but I'm rarely offended by myself.
Good point @ocrdu!
