No, that's what you're doing by comparing this with Loki at all: Loki commands the people to kneel after a clear show of force, while holding a weapon, in a threatening manner, representing clear duress. The question being asked is whether one would obey an order from god, with the format and presentation of that order recalling the story of Abraham and Isaac from the bible, a story where no duress was used.

I believe the stuff about Abraham was added to the OP after I read it and started my response. That was not the context of my replies.
