I didn't say his was, I'm pointing out that yours is. He had no problem conceiving of immoral things uniquely owned by the faithful (and I doubt he was thinking of some superhuman ability), and entreated the audience to think of them..laughing as they laughed, pointing out that even though the first question stumped everyone, the second could be answered almost immediately.
He at least allowed for their to -be- an act owned by the faithful, and specifically one solely reducible to their motivation by god beliefs. If there is no such thing..or we won't allow it, then the question is rhetorical inanity.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
