Really? I've seen atheists on a different board claim that at least the Calvinist's description of God is consistent. But then again why listen to a person who has declared he hates God?
I was even told it was bad of me to think of God as a friend!
It certainly is bad to tell the unsaved that God is their friend. He is not. He explicitly says in John 3:36 that those who do not believe on His Son currently have the wrath of God abiding on them. Hardly the description of a friend.
Well, I'm sure the tertimony of atheists is not the strongest thing for me to stand on. LOL

You can present God as warm and loving and willing to embrace the sinner. Yes, you can. Of course that is more difficult when you have a theology that makes God the author and willer of sin and destruction and damnation.
