I didn't say "read the bible" would be compelling, I said it would be good advice.

I agree that you didn't say that.

By "God" I mean [..] the common meaning of "God" in our culture.

I agree that if the God described in the Bible exists, then "read the Bible" is uniquely good advice.

It is an interesting failure mode conversations can get in:

  • Alice: X
  • Bob: ¬Y
  • Alice: I didn't say Y
  • Bob: I didn't say you said Y!
  • Alice: I didn't say you said I said Y!!

(shrug) If they can agree that (X & ¬Y), it terminates pretty quickly. I find it's only a serious failure mode if Alice and Bob insist on continuing to disagree about something.
