How better to enslave someone than to convince them their shackles make them free?

Actually - the claim of FREE will - which xtians love to use as an excuse for almost everything - cannot exist if the god is ALL KNOWING - past - present - and future.

IF the god knew everything that will happen for ALL TIME - then there is ONLY one possible outcome to every situation -the one the god knows. WE cannot be FREE to choose something the god does NOT know - so we have only one possible "choice" - which means NO choice at all.

AND indeed - the idea that you must choose ONE option - or burn is coercion - not choice.
