No one can give you freedom. You have to fight for it.
To quote Thomas Paine:
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
The West had to endure a century+ of religious warfare culminating in the 30 Year's War before xtians of all stripes had enough. There are no shortcuts.
