Fact:
Tertullian, a North African Christian writer of the early third century, was the first to argue that because religious faith is an inward disposition of the mind and heart, it cannot be coerced by external forces. The Church Father writes:
It is only just and a privilege inherent in human nature that every person should be able to worship according to his own convictions; the religious practice of one person neither harms nor helps another. It is not part of religion to coerce religious practice, for it is by choice not coercion that we should be led to religion.
Counterfact:
Nothing. Jet, you have presented absolutely no counterfact. Until you do, stop pretending.

Your ignorance is boundless: HE may have written that, but it's not true in fact is it. Egyptians wrote about "the freedom of the soul", [i]which would be much earlier wouldn't it. Sumerians wrote about "freedom" as well, which would be still earlier wouldn't it. Have you looked up "Ziggurats" ? Of course you haven't.
Proselytizing your psychological framing as a vacuum is stupid. Particularly when your psychological framing has failed throughout human history.

Tertullian wrote that. It is a fact.
You claim "Egyptians wrote about 'the freedom of the soul' ..." but offer no factual evidence. Thus, no counterfact. Just a vague claim. And again off topic. Soul is the spirit of a person while conscience is one's moral sense. Sumarians wrote of liberty, yes, but not liberty of conscience. Ziggurats were places of worship.
I'm not proselytizing as I'm an atheist.
And thanks for the ad hom. If you had an argument you wouldn't have to resort to fallacies.

Back again? Still no counterfactuals?
