Regarding OP:
Often the common response is that: "Even though god revealed himself, the person still had 'free will' in choosing whether or not to obey him."
It's a bull shit cop out of an explanation, but I've heard it before. What I find more interesting than the possible violation of "free-will" (which is already the biggest fucking joke in the bible), is that for some people, most living at or before the time of JC, god seems to completely waive the whole faith stipulation that he requires of the rest of us.
It's bull shit! I submit that Moses, Abraham, Isaac, the Apostles, and the multitudes of others never had to have any faith whatsoever. They had the hte supreme deity himself right in front of them. If the godboy was real, than they were truly never believers, but merely witnesses to a fact. I find this yet another repulsive attribute of the Babble. The rules constantly shift while god plays favorites and decides who of the billions of souls is going to be lucky enough to get the easy ticket home.
Obvious bull shit is obvious.
