...what? Are you suggesting that if I can prove that X, Y, and Z entail that a necessary being exists, and you believe X, Y, and Z, that I've somehow done something dishonest ("heads I win, tails you lose")?

Not interested in whether your beliefs logically imply that a necessary being exists? I hope that's not it, because then you'd be actively ignoring the implications of your beliefs.

How is this a "trap"? If you believe X, and X entails that a necessary being exists, wouldn't you like to know that?
What youtube video are you talking about, by the way?
