Well it dictates what you can and cannot do (within reason usually) but ofc nowadays we have democracy to decide (on new laws for example). Hence I see Jesus as a dictator as well (although he seems some what communistic sometimes :s). |
1. Noone forces you to join a certain religion (Notice again that certain governments and ruling persons abused this and proclaimed that only their religion is the true one). From the view of any religion it is up to the individual to deciede wether you want to join and devote your life to something or not.
2. Jesus was not a dictator, not even in a metaphoric sense since he didn't force anyone to join the movement he started.
