If you aren't, then there's nothing to rule out or in in the first place. It was not a genuine cognitive proposition about a soul forge, and nothing about it informs you so much as helps you hold hope alive that no one can rule your god beliefs out. The god belief in question..if I could be so bold, is that there's some good reason to do all of this, that god isn't a monster for doing this.
That, though, is a question that we can answer without ever resolving whether or not there is a god or a soul forge.
Is it fair to say, your claim;
We can "know" now, whether option 4 is the case or not?
Have I misunderstood?
