FREE WILL: If I say to you "do as I say or I will hurt you" is that not coercion, the antithesis of free will?
In law contracts signed under duress are void. Actions made under duress have no moral value for the performer and are not culpable at law.
A common theist attitude has always bemused me: Obeying what they see as the will of god from fear of hell or for the reward of heaven.Such motives seem morally bankrupt to me,albeit very human---just like YHWH in fact. Not surprising, as he was invented by humans.
