Somewhat disagree. Social class factors into the equation in phrasing (look into philosophy of education) of requests/demands for behavior. Studies show lower class students respond better to direct commands because in many cases survival at home greatly depends on following the immediate...

God in your words seems to be intertwined with the ability to use force to exert control. I think that is valid considering the ideas of God in early western culture were tied so closely with forces of nature. Humans at this point in history have a pretty good grasp and understanding of the...
