Sculptor's rejection of religion is so blind that he can't stand the idea of even assuming religious principles for the sake of argument. That's such an anti-intellectual approach that it has no place on a philosophy discussion board.
You attack on me is so blind you can't stand the idea I might be right.
I said nothing against religion, but "religion" cannot have a principle from which any discussion can proceed since "religion" is legion in imagination and scope. Any attempt to annswer the thread title would only lead from one form of dogma or another. And dogma is not philosophy.
I was pointing to two unsupported assumptions, which still make the thread meaningless.
You cannot begin to answer the thread title since you cannot know God, nor can you know God's motives. Whether "God" (whever that might be today) exists or not.
