LOL! Yes, seriously bad objection.

And that's the problem isn't it? Religion is coercive in that respect. Much of the time, people don't participate in it due to seeing at as a logically plausible set of beliefs, but rather due to subtle social pressures. Being in a relationship is one thing. If you have been dating a while, sure, she's going to assert herself and make you go watch a chick flick some night. That is to be expected.

But religion crosses a line. It demands obedience, but its demands don't stop there. It demands love. Demands it! Wow. "You should love me, or you will suffer torture for eternity." This chick is starting to seem pretty "out there." 

"And also, you need to make sure your interpretation of the universe conforms to the stories in my favorite book."

So many parallels between religion and an abusive relationship. Not the most original thought, I know, but it deserves repeating.
