Choice is always a component between deciding upon more than one path. I would rather do good because it is the right thing to do, not because a biblical magical sky daddy has informed me that I must be good or suffer the consequences.
You just repeated the statement that this was a response to. If anyone did anything because someone else informed them to, it wouldn't be their moral choice would it? Not that I know if any Christian that does this.
