Typical argument from the bible as if the bible is the ultimate authority on everything. Until they learn that we don't accept the bible as an authority they will keep using it to attack our beliefs. Christians don't see God's law as not applying to anyone, but to everyone. They have no concept of "opt-out."
All Christians who believe in free will know you can "opt-out," we are not saying you have to believe, but there is this, you can not "opt-out" of the judgement.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
