Do you believe that the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob really exists?
With all due respect, you don't get to determine whether a conversation takes place or what the subject matter may be (I wouldn't allow you to do that on CAF, never mind here) and I'm not in the mood for variations on a Jesus sales pitch.
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
