How do you know what God would want? You can't say because of the Christian Bible(never mind why we should hold to anyone's interpretation of it), that would be even more circular reasoning which fails to move anything forward. Appeals to religious experiences and emotion will fail because people from other religions have those too. Think about it, even from within the Christian family of schisms and denominations with conflicting dogmas have religious experiences and feelings. Protestants have theirs, the Catholics have theirs, and liberal Karen Armstrong/John Shelby Spong types of Christians have theirs. They can't all be right. If Yahweh exists we have no way of checking to see who he is revealing himself to. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.
