A man says, "I have a gun and I will shoot you unless you paint your house red."

A terrorist message declares, "we have bombs we will detonate in your city unless you paint all your homes red."

An interstellar invasion fleet announces, "we can manipulate matter to the subatomic level, and we will tear apart your Sun unless you comply by painting all domiciles red."

A Being walks the earth in shining robes, with secrets beyond time behind his eyes, the words come into your mind, "I can make and unmake universes, I will inflict eternal torment, pain, suffering, and fire on all who do not swear that red is the only Holy color for the homes of the faithful."
