Unfortunately, sometimes...after the principle of charity is applied, some propositions are still to silly to entertain.
Imagine how silly they sound -before- we apply the principle of charity to that silliness, and try to reinterpret godisms in a better light than they come to us?
Perhaps, however I think that if you are not going to entertain them, and give them any serious thought, then you should at least be up front and not pretend that you are. If yours is a position of ignorance and incredulity then man up to it.
I think that the notion that nothing has causally sufficient power for anything is pretty silly. However I still ask why, they believe that; as well as, questions that would follow from such a notion.
