Coercion is not equal to chosing.

No, “all powerful” doesn’t mean absolute, it means within reason. God cannot go against his own nature he cannot commit evil when his nature is perfect goodness. He cannot be irrational when his nature is perfect logic. Which is why the question about him creating a rock so big he couldn’t lift it is silly and meaningless. And he cannot cover evil with goodness or pretend that it didn’t happen, evil must be forgiven and the only way it’s forgiven Person who committed it admit what he did and ask God to be forgiven. Then through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God the Father can forgive but sin because Jesus already took the punishment for it. But if you don’t ask, the punishment Jesus took is not going to apply to you.

So I am hopeful that by your continued participation in this discussion that you still hold out some hope of finding God one day. Because otherwise a true atheist would not be bothered by such discussion is this since it’s all moot in fantasy.
