The existence of a single non-Christian worldview that is self-attesting, logically coherent, and consistent both with itself and the world in which we live.

It is almost as if you have read the novel The Last Day (1998) by Glenn Kleier, which was a really fascinating what-if story along those very lines.

That you deliberately chose to interpret the sentence the way you did speaks volumes about your integrity and honesty. That you underscored your own deliberate misinterpretation with derisory laughter merely says you are a git. No wonder there's no agreement on more complex matters if you deflect the line of inquiry with the wording of a simple eight-word sentence. I submit that any meaningful dialogue with a person known for behaving in this sort of dickish way to avoid discussion is going to be impossible.
I wish I could give multiple kudos upon kudos for that one.
