If God wants extropians to argue about God, then nothing anyone can do will
keep extropians from arguing about God.
And if God wants extropians to stop arguing about God, then nothing anyone
can do will make extropians continue to argue about God.

So it does make a difference whether God exists or not.

But since you haven't defined "God" perhaps God doesn't believe in you.

(BTW, it seems to me that God = Existence.)
