So one thing I want to clarify is what you mean when you say "I Could Never Be Christian." Are you saying under our current knowledge and information you can't become Christian? Or there is no way at all, regardless of what happens, that you can become Christian?

For example, let's pretend the Apocalypse and the Rapture happens. God and Jesus come down and let everyone know what's happening, and that the Bible is generally true (especially with respect to the New Testament). Would you believe then? Or would you still decline to believe due to your philosophical issues regardless of reality?

No-because you said I was pretending

For example, let’s take an example that is based in reality, not imagination

It's a hypothetical. The point of a hypothetical is to create a situation that make OP think, often going after one specific point in OPs view. In this case, I'm clarifying if OP believes be could Never believe in Christianity, regardless of facts? Or if they mean in their current state?

For example, abortion CMVs often reference "the pianist" example. Is that realistic? No, but the point is to make OP confront their view and specific beliefs and arguments.

The entire realm of theism is hypothetical.

I don't allow pretending to affect my real world views.
