If you say it that way it gives him an out ... he can effectively say yes but that doesn't mean his god didn't set the scene first (IOW, regardless of whether we believe or not it's still there).
Better (I would have said) to ask if he believes it is possible to be good, kind, loving, caring and moral without a god ever existing?
Kyu
The question is meant to be a lead up to if there exists morality outside Christian values and if so, why would it be necessary to follow the teachings of the bible when one can have their own judgement of right and wrong and be a "good" person.
You're still welcome to ask him that question yourself if you wish.
