"... whenever any number of men, calling themselves a government, do anything to another man, or to his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers, according to the nature of their acts." - Lysander Spooner

I didn't use the word coercion.
I said that freedom of religion isn't a Christian ideal, it's a purely secular one. Even the different denominations are often embroiled in conflicts about how to practice Christianity, let alone recognize the belief in another deity.

Stray under penalty of death you mean...some choice. Submit or die.
16When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you. (Joshua 23:16)
You'll have to do better than plucking one small verse.

I coerce my children to do the right thing all the time. What's wrong with that?

I agree the woman is surely delusional.

You can tell me, I have not asserted it's wrong; or if you prefer, tell me what is so right about coercion.

You keep using that word coercion. I dont think it means what you think it means.

If it doesn't mean:<blockquote>"Coercion is the practice of compelling a person to involuntarily behave in a certain way (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats, intimidation or some other form of pressure or force. Coercion may typically involve the actual infliction of physical or psychological harm in order to enhance the credibility of a threat. The threat of further harm may then lead to the cooperation or obedience of the person being coerced."</blockquote>...then, enlighten me.

The "I don't hink it means what you think it means" bs is tired and worn out from these embeciles, LOki.
They have no other explanation or clarification for their thoughts and think that one will make things more objective for the casual reader. Even then, the casual reader thinks they are very ignorant or at least obfuscating using that excuse not to answer.
Dig it?

Coercion trains my children to know right from wrong. I also intimidate, threaten, and inflict corporal punishment when neccesary, me being the jury as well as sole judge.
