Um... no. Christians are Christians by choice. Those under a dictator have no choice. Maybe use Singapore's 'benevolent dictator' as your example?

  That's the meta view from the outside looking in. If you truly believe in Christianity then you truly believe God is the dictator and you believe there isn't a choice in the matter. Most Christians are okay with this, which is my point. I could use a real world example like Singapore but there are imperfections in that country. God is an example of a perfect dictatorship in every possible conceivable way, it's even better than democracy.

    When I was born, I was not a Christian. In order to become Christian, I had to choose to accept God as my Dictator. Later, I gave up the notion of God and Christianity, again by choice. It's like putting yourself in a prison where you can leave any time you like. Are you still in prison? Likewise, is God really a dictator?

      Yes if you accept and embrace your boss as the owner of your time, then you have placed a yolk on your own back. You may have exercised choice, but there’s also a yolk on your back. Except your spiritual boss will only accept 100% and not some time sharing agreement, and that you must do so on faith, surrendering everything. Or you go to hell.
