i really hate that i have to say this but bringing up a hypothetical to someone as a trap to tell them that their genuinely harmless belief is (in your opinion) problematic + try and change their mind is rude as hell esp. when they tell you it’s part of their religion
i’ve seen this happen a few times before and it just. really pisses me off. it’s not our job to try and police other people’s beliefs for problematic qualities. it’s all fine and dandy to have a healthy debate with someone or discuss your opposing viewpoints to try and understand each other, but specifically bringing up the topic so you can soapbox to this person (or group of people) about why you’re right and they’re wrong and not letting anyone else get a word in edgewise is honestly just as, if not more problematic than whatever point you’re trying to make in the first place
