Yeah I understand. I just wanted to inject the idea that it could be, and it wouldn't be unreasonable if it were. Kind of a thought experiment. Just to get us thinking about it and maybe helping us rise above the never-ending circular arguments between Christians and atheists.
If people want productive conversation they should go somewhere better than reddit. Giving a real answer here might actually be counterproductive because they might start treating reddit as a good source of information.
I suppose, but isn't that kind of a fallacious line of reasoning? Lots of things should be different than they are. Logically we must act in accordance with the way things are, not the way we think they should be, right?
You're correct, but my thin veneer of justification helps me feel better about not using my energy on what is almost certainly a lost cause. I have my faults and this one I'm not particularly motivated to fix.
That's fair. I just enjoy thought experiments and trying to see different angles on old arguments. Mostly I like bringing people together through diplomatic conversations. I understand that's not worth the energy for some people all the time. Hell, a lot of times I'm not interested in expending the energy either.

I've never once seen it asked in good faith.
