What exactly are you saying here? Do Christians not claim their deity to be omnipotent, and omniscient? Could he have not made their "stiff necks" a bit more flaccid? That doesn't sound like an omnipotent, omniscient god to me; and at the very least, if he did have the power to pull a reverse-Pharaoh on them and didn't, he certainly doesn't seem like a deity worth worshiping.
Could God force us to do something? Sure.
But He has chosen to give us free will and to honor it.
How much resentment would we have against God if He didn't?
