If somebody sent me a pipe bomb as a gift I'd be entirely less than appreciative. Pixies "gifted" us with a pipebomb. Except..you know, in a way that makes it look like they didn't, from a completely hidden location..according to you.
It wasn't hidden in the first place, Adam saw God face to face. Ever since we are forbidden to look at God for a number of reasons, one of which is the tendency to worship the image of God rather than be loyal with love.
Human beings have been given faith by God, and a conscience, which contains the law of God, or the law of life, or the law of love.
That law is apparent to all. For instance "Thou shalt not kill," applies to the fact of life, that it is fragile and cannot be fixed once broken.
People do know what is right, and they'll deny that, and if they stifle the conscience often enough, it will die, and they'll have nothing but the spirit of rebellion.
