A Christian only need convince themselves that the God character lines up with what they want it to be. What difference does it make what atheists think of the character?

Because if atheists thought of God's character accurately, rob, they might not choose to be atheists any more.

I can't let this slide.

This is exactly why I can't take discussion with you seriously.

1) Atheism is not a choice

2) Whether something is real or not has nothing to do with whether I like it or not

You really need to at least try to understand what being an atheist is, if you ever hope to convince one of anything.

Consider me trying to tell you Skeletor from He-man is real, and you choose to not believe he's real because you think he's evil. Hopefully you will see that is absolutely ridiculous.

I'll be leaving you alone again, but I sincerely hope you take some time to think this over.
