Yeah, like "What if your fairy tales are just fairy tales?"
A non dodge answer would be something like:
1. "I would, there are multiple stories in the bible where god commands people to kill, and I'd happily do so if god asked me."
2. "I wouldn't, there are multiple stories in the bible where god commands people to kill, but I don't think I'd do go through with it."
3. "I wouldn't, I don't believe that part of the bible. I don't believe god would ask someone to kill another person, the omnipotent being is perfectly capable on his own, why would he force someone to do his dirty work?" ..OR, better yet..
4. "Why believe in a book claimed to be the word of god, that contains obvious fairy tales, and many atrocities, many of which are commanded by that alleged god himself? Why would anyone believe that, when this alleged god, obviously doesn't want people to know the truth, when many ask him sincerely everyday? Why allow people to worship incorrectly (when many 'know' they are worshipping correctly) and not guide all of them simultaneously, to the correct one, with irrefutable evidence? Maybe he doesn't care, or maybe, JUST MAYBE, HE DOESN'T EXIST.
But, what can you expect from a christian, they have to dodge all of the logical questions..
