Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"
Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."

Get the But can you do thismug. Hym "It's not the worst thing you can do to someone who doesn't have kid. Threatening kids cured my depression! Threatening kids saved humanity! Threatening kids is a panacea! Now that I think about it... Threatening kids is the perfect analog to small dick bigotry! Because the bigotry doesn't work if my cock is fat, right? I say something a woman doesn't like, she says i have a small dick, but actually I got a fat cock. It doesn't work. Ghost type moves do not effect Normal type Pokémon. And vice versa. I say something you don't like, you threaten my kids, but I don't have any.... Doesn't work. A perfect analog! It's 1 to 1. I wasn't even trying to do that one."
