If you're a universalist like Crakjak... yes ... irresistably.
Now .... I swear to Buddha ... silence is golden but duct tape is silver ... Timmy, stop with the athiest polls.
We believe in God.
Belief in God is a huge spectrum. I'm just trying to get an understanding of which God you guys believe in.
You edited to add "irresistably", so thanks for the clarification. But the question was not about force, but about demand or command. (Apparently, there is some shade of meaning between even those two words, but I haven't got a handle on it yet. )

It is not necessary for Him to "demand" because He is irresistable!!!! No person can "know" God and not love Him.

Religion makes demands, Jesus says, "Come, and I will give you rest." My yoke is easy, and my burden light."

You didn't say it, I did. You said religion makes demands, and I replied that Jesus (also) demands. He said it was one of the two greatest commandments. It seemed you were implying that it's a bad thing to make demands. Just sayin'.
