No one has ever had a problem with discussing possibilities. Most of us, I wager, just look at it as a waste of time. Often times when people muse on about the intricacies of life or the possibility of claim x they aren't doing anyone a favor. It is just a waste to drone on when the premise of your mental journey isn't founded in truth. And it wasn't simply the fact that you squandered your own and other's time on things that really didn't merit any deep discussion- it was your phrasing of certain things, as well as your inability to admit you misspoke.
Regardless, everyone understands your point now. Even if I think it is still a mental jerkfest.
Also, if you consider the argument from evil or the argument from unbelief, it is arguable that the Chrsitian God can fit his own description in the Bible as a "perfectly good" or even a marginally good God. But, like I said before, Cristianity is just as possible as any other make-believe concept.

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
