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?

Hell pretty much negates the free will argument.  If one's soul is held hostage, can any choice be free?

No. You may as well exonerate the bandit because his victim gave up his wallet ... never mind the gun barrel at his temple.

Free will! *snort*

If the gawd of the buy-bull exists, as described by the buy-bull, it's the ultimate abusive spouse. Not only does it demand "love me or I'll do really nasty shit to you", there's no one you can call to make the fucker stop.
