I do not understand the above to be directly responsive to any of the
questions I posed, the crux one being:

Since there seems to be a problem with commuincation, let me ask my
question a different way:

- Suppose you could push a button and instantaneously cause everyone
on Earth to not be a monotheist.

- Is there any sheaf of risk likelihoods that would keep you from
pushing that button?

I'm not asking for paragraphs, I'm asking for a response of yes, no or "mu".

You are free to not oblige.

Cheerio,
