That *is* how it is defined. When men do it, it is stifling and restrictive, becuase men have not the gift of omniscience...becuase their view *is* limited.

When a benevolent, all-knowing being says "this is the way -- walk in it," it is not "free thinking" to question that being's judgement, it is suicide.
