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'.
No, she didn't. She clearly understood that they were trying to get her
to be born again, and when she stated that she needed to talk to her
mother and father first, they told her she should do it NOW.
So you have experienced Baptists making threats in their attempts at coercion? Perhaps you could
amplify? Sounds like a good story.
Yes, I have. Again, "if you aren't born again, you'll burn in hell."

Better to burn in hell than be in the company of all those born-again
baptists.
