    I agree~ And thus I would agree that arguing with God ("I can do a better job than you!") might be worth a shot.

    I'd be careful with the wording - God could agree you'd be better but do nothing about it.

    Maybe you could write an open letter calling for people to be altruistic in general and that would count.

      It's a monkey paw of an outcome.

      You win the argument; but it does not change his mind on the subject. 😬

      Depends on what you're arguing about. I mean, you could say "that hamburger will kill you" and he'll eat it to spite you.

        Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe I can just cut to the chase and outright assert "You did a bad job, hand all your power to me." 😅

          What does winning mean in this case? That every single person watching that debate concludes that I was right and the other person was wrong? What about if I'm objectively wrong? Do I still win?

              I should be given uncontested control of the world's resources for 1 year.

              My opponent: the mother Gaia.
