Is this reasonable?

It's basically the same question as "Is it reasonable to not believe?". Which isn't confusing.

I took it as like a posh, formal and often Britishian way of asking the question. There's this quote from Time Bandits:

Quote:God isn't interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men! Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic? If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!

My bold.

Us Britishians are always asking questions with "not", are we not?

I guess Kit turned Britishian or something.

Are you not unsure you can't?

Oh wait. That was a triple negative. Nevermind.
