If you really do believe that then I pity your lack of vision.
Free will and open choice do not come with threats. There IS a consequence to the xitan idea of “Choice”. As I said in my original quote, “Think as we tell you or suffer eternal damnation!” and you think that’s not forcing people? Emotional blackmail? Amirite?
I used the gun example purely for illustration purposes as to my mind the so-called-choice your kind offers is the same thing.
I'm sorry if you can’t see it that way, but it’s as plain as day to me. It’s just a very thinly veiled threat.

“Belief in god”? That is not questioning your belief. That is questioning the nature of your belief. To question your belief who would need look at if god really exists rather than in which way you interpret your belief in it.
