According to the Biblical version of the Mesopotamian flood narrative, YHWH is described as being capable of experiencing regret for his own actions.
Since the wide variety of all human thought and behavior could practically be charted as a continuous gradient, rather than "all good or all bad," does it make sense that this god, when tasked with the even more difficult duty of judging people eternally for their finite *cough*crimes*cough* might ever regret his decision to save one person from eternal punishment, but not another?
...or might his selection process just be a continuation of his laziness from the Noah's Ark story. "Alright listen up, sinners, you 144,000 can stay, but everyone else GTFO. Oh, that was fun. Don't you guy's just love me so much?
You'd better say yes, medamnit!!! "

If we came from dust, then why is there still dust?
