I just love the contradiction. It's a splendidly elegant demonstration of how fraudulent the Christian faith is. If everyone knows God exists because he reveals himself to everyone in a public display, that erases free will, but if YOU know God exists because he reveals himself to YOU through private revelation, this somehow allows you to retain free will. How does that even make sense? Thinking that you know something to be true will determine how you act on it (if it is important enough to determine your thoughts and behavior). How you come to that conclusion is not important (to you). Christians treat their truths the same way atheists treat actual truths. Neither has any more or less 'free will'.
It exposes the deliberately deceitful nature of the idea that "faith leads to knowledge", because it is obvious that, according to Godschild's apologetic dog shit, the method by which you find the 'truth' is much more important than actually knowing what the truth actually is. Belief in a faith like Christianity may be an honest mistake, but if you tell someone else that it is wrong to examine its claims critically (by, say, demanding that God show himself), then you are essentially a deliberate liar, because you're just as aware of the problem as we are but you have a vested interest in not allowing your version of the truth to be challenged.
