All pro-snake-handling gods are gods, but not all gods are pro-snake-handling gods.
Is that still true at the limit of zero gods existing? It certainly precludes a counter-example!
Does it help if I add the qualifier “hypothetical” or “possible”?
I.e., All possible pro-snake-handling gods are gods, but not all possible gods are pro-snake-handling gods.
Otherwise I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying...
Yes. (And I only mentioned the exception because it surprised me that the near tautology had a counterexample.)
