"If you don't lend me your sunglasses, I might accidentally sit on them when you're not looking." This statement is a veiled threat fallacy because it is a subtle threat disguised as a joke to manipulate someone into giving up their sunglasses.

Is human nature inherently good or evil?

The truth of God's Word in Romans explains that all humans have a conscience and desire self and group acceptance. Romans 2:13-15 "(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)" Further truth reveals that all humans are also subject to deceitful lusts. Ephesians 4:22 "That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;" Before God's involvement in our lives, we were “dead in trespasses and sins” and “by nature the children of wrath” due to Satan's influence. Ephesians 2:1,2 “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air…” By accepting Christ, a person receives the spirit of God within and can accomplish good works for God. Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Only when love is the motivator can a person renew his mind and replace the old man nature with the new man. Colossians 3:9,10 "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:"

What do you mean is a veiled threat "legal?" A threat is a threat. Threats are technically illegal. Are you saying, by veiling a threat, can you avoid responsibility for making the threat?

Can you give an example of a veiled threat?

A veiled threat is a sentence given to another that can have two meanings and be taken as information or a joke or a threat. Example: 'Now that I've told you my private secrets I may have to kill you' and the person laughs or on a more normal basis 'If I ever found someone going out with my girlfriend I'd kick the crap out of them so bad they would be in the hospital for a month.' This person may be suspicious of the person they are talking too, but put the sentence in such a way that they are simply talking about anyone, but know full well that the person they said it too gets the drift of what the threat is all about.
