There's that binary thinking again. There's a difference between
presenting information in a comfortable environment and more intense
coercion involving threats. Baptists tend toward the latter from my
limited experience.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking. Why do you denigrate it?

Also, in my experience, ten-year olds tend to exaggerate tremendously. Perhaps she misconstrued a
prayer before dinner as 'brainwashing'.

So you have experienced Baptists making threats in their attempts at coercion? Perhaps you could
amplify? Sounds like a good story.
