Religion is like music. I don't knock a band until I hear their tunes. It's ok to say you dont believe, but dont knock my God unti you read the Bible, it's called courtesy.

Well, that's funny, because if I recall, in Exodus there is a part where Moses is trying to convince the Pharaoh to let his people go, and every time he asks the Pharaoh God "hardens" the Pharaoh's heart, and the Pharaoh denies Moses' request. So, where's the free will / choice in that? In fact, that's a pretty sadistic God, if you ask me.

So, maybe you should be the one reading the Bible. Because that's just one example of hundreds of occurences of hypocrisy and contradictions in that book.

But does it ever say that his heart is 'harder'? Does God favour Moses, and was he the one that ordered Moses to go and demand his people be freed?
