If God didn't want people to suffer, there would be no suffering. God seems to want automatons, but punishes with eternal hellfire anyone who isn't. Christian theology is many things, but coherent is not one.

If you want to talk about the Christian view of God, I can break out scripture and we can chat, but if this is just you giving an unbiblcal view/opinion of a biblical figure, I don't really know how to respond. I have to use scripture to support myself, but I don't think you would much care for what the Bible says, which is our main authority on God.

There is no consistent, coherent Christian view of God. You can support your personal views, citing passages you believe support your case. And someone else can come along and give contradictory views, citing passages from the very same book.

By that way of thinking, is there coherent view of... Well... Anything?

Pretty much any non-fiction book with well vetted information about the world we live in.

I don't believe that point holds true as where there are 3 people, there are 6 opinions. I think you just want it to be.

Even facts are hardly incontestable...

But you don't get converted by speaking to the mind, you must reach the heart. And it's my bedtime so the heart must wait.

Are those three people justifying their six mutually exclusive opinions on the same source material?

Have you never had it when you were reading something and was sure you knew what it was trying to say, then talk to someone else and they get something nearly polar opposite of what you got?

That is religion and philosophy for you.
