Thomas Aquinas, at least, felt it was indeterminate and did not matter with respect to the 2W once you account for the distinction between accidentally and essentially ordered sequences. Why do you believe it impossible to discuss have a purely metaphysical question without delving into the theological implications? Seems to me like yer itchin' for a fight.
To you last question here, I often suspect it’s because they can’t discuss and evaluate it apart from the other thing. They can’t understand any other way, than their concrete thinking where you evaluate from the end.
Plus there's the AF culture. Every time I try to start a lighthearted humor thread it always bombs because it seems like atheists don't want to play in the same sandbox with theists, except for mafia. (Or maybe my idea of fun doesn't appeal to others...there' always that.)
