So when he speaks to these people(as they claim he has) hasn't he compromised their freewill and thusly broken his own rule?
I've made mention to this several times. If anything its exceptionally unfair and god is playing favorites.
In addition. It means that those people don't require faith at all. They have tangible proof of god in their minds and can now go around demanding that the rest of us have faith when they actually require none. Lucent comes to mind. He says god revealed himself to him in dreams and visions. Great for him, too bad for everybody else. Now he goes around preaching at everyone while he doesn't have to have the slightest bit of actual faith.
In the end it's all horseshit. By the way, you'll notice that everyone's "trip to hell" is always when they're unconscious and it always has to do with the prominent religion of their own particular location --- oh and of course, everyone's version of hell/heaven is always different ... often extremely so.
Utter stupidity.
