that makes some more sense, thanks for explaining.

submission to god is as "voluntary" as submission to the state... you can choose not to submit to the state, and then there will be unpleasant reprocussions (which the state could intervene on and avoid, but usually doesn't). just like if you don't submit to god there will be unpleasant reprocussions (which god could intervene on and avoid, but usually doesn't). prison, deportation, execution, divine punishment, eternal hellfire, etc. you can "opt out" of any of these if you "choose" properly.
