A Contradiction of Coercions Can We Have a Christian Explaination?

So, God wasn't coercing Jonah into BELIEVING that He existed...God was simply having trouble getting Jonah to obey Him! I could probably make a similar case for a number of the examples you cite above.

This is the sort of mental backflip I've come to expect from someone trying to fit all these contradictions together. I feel bad for you in your impossible task.

You've already agreed that God revealing himself with more proof would be coercion, and that this is NOT a straw man of your beliefs. But when refuting Jenny's point on the coercion in Jonah's story you say
Quote:Jonah had prior experience of God's intervention in his life.
Here, God is doing something that WLC et al say "He" doesn't do, because it would be coercion. Something you agreed with.

When you say God wasn't forcing Jonah into believing him, he was trying to get Jonah to obey him, your reasoning was that God had already forced him into believing him prior to the story Jenny brought up.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
