For example: IF God existed, then blah blah blah.
Does't such questions predetermine the non-existence of God, If anyone answer such question ?
Kinda trap loll.
I think you are 100 percent wrong.For example: IF God existed, then blah blah blah.

Firstly a statement containing "if" is a conditional statement, not a question.For example: IF God existed, then blah blah blah.

For example ?Well... all it does is examine a hypothetical. And it can also predetermine the non-existence of God. It depends on context and the persons viewpoint.
Give any example and prove.I think you are 100 percent wrong.
It is a legitimate question and it does not predetermine the non-existence of God
You mean questions starting with IF aren't questions actually ?Firstly a statement containing "if" is a conditional statement, not a question.
Secondly, making conditional statements about God's existence does not predetermine anything. Nor does it presuppose anything, which is maybe what you meant
That is the whole point of a conditional statement - to avoid presupposing something relevant to whatever you want to speak about.
For example ?
Why don’t you do a copy paste of the question that your OP appears to be responding to and we will examine it.Give any example and prove.
For example: IF God existed, then blah blah blah.

You can tack a question onto the end of a conditional statement of course. So for instance you can say either:You mean questions starting with IF aren't questions actually ?
In mixed company, I talk like this all the time. It's respectful of those who do not believe in the same things that I do.For example: IF God existed, then blah blah blah.

A believer speaking to an atheist.
Atheist: There is no God that is why there is so much suffering in the world.
Believer: If God existed, do you think that he would allow suffering like this? Do you think it might be part of his plan.
No. Quite the opposite. It avoids any presupposition.Does't such questions predetermine the non-existence of God, If anyone answer such question ?
I disagree. People believe all sorts bizarre things, completely without support.Can any believer believe that water is dry ? Never.
Because, a believer always need some kind of suspect to believe something.
There's a need to believe?"Believing in something" in itself is kinda a suspect-condition.
Otherwise there would have been no need of believe. Rather simply just sure.
Huh?Therefore, believer speaking to an atheist, is equal to atheist speaking to atheist.
Please give some another example

If this is so,No. It offers God's existence as a hypothetical.
For example: IF God existed, then blah blah blah.

Copying the question does not imply that you agree that it is legitimate.Because I don't think any such question is a legitimate question.
