I think you mean well, but I think you are wrong.
It is hard for me to think how to persuade you when you lead with emotion over truth. We can agree to set aside the issue of children. You brought it up so I wanted to answer that. As for my own experience, there was no force or coercion, really. Kids want to please. But that is a distraction.
Let’s change your term away from being about emotion and see if we can find a more biblical term.
The parable of the sower. The word of God goes out and falls on different soil. In that sense you have a very biblical principle. Most of the soils/ground were ill prepared for various reasons, but they were unable to receive the truth — except for the good soil. So change your terminology and you have something — sort of.
Still, attitude does not trump truth. All the soils received the truth. Certainly error would not have converted even the person of good soil. The truth is still paramount. Even in the heart ready to receive it, the truth is the SEED. It is essential.
Without the attitude to receive, the good seed is pointless. Nothing happens.
As for your denigration of what you call mere emotion, notice that a bad state identified by the bible is to be “without feeling.” And that this is also the state modern science recognizes in sociopaths.
I see you are apparently blaspheming a very good thing of God.
You also really seem to be flying in the face of Jesus when you start hemming and hawing about the evangelism of children as a response to my citation of something He characterized as unequivocally good. All I can say is you seem to be talking about it from a fundamentally wrong perspective.
Even the “feelingless” have feeling going behind the scenes, but it is feeling of pride, of self congratulation. I challenge you to identify this in yourself.
