@reasoning logic,
If God does exist...And Joseph Smith says he is one way....And I say another....Then chances are that neither of us are correct...Because if we knew what God truly was...then we would both be God ourselves....
How is this circular?
If I want to hear you admit that a God has to exist to experiment with us....That is not circular because you are admitting that even if God is a douche, you are saying there is still a chance....You may not have seen it, but everyone else has...
And I do not ever remember you saying this before....
Now whether or not he truly is evil is another discussion for another day...
Because if you are saying there is a chance and he would be evil...Then there is no reason why he could not be....And be Holy.....
If he can't control being evil....Then in theory he could control being Holy...
