I mean, there’s literally an “actual” case in the Bible. I’m not even religious, so sorry if I can’t provide much detail, but in the story of Sodoma and Gomorrah there’s this bloke who asks God to save one soul. After God says okay, he’s like, if you could save one, couldn’t you save another? Then he proceeds to get God to save everyone in the same vein.
Yeah, God in his infinite wisdom and his mysterious ways (of being convinced by a 10 cent trick).
I hate to burst your bubble there, but actually it’s the exact opposite. Abraham hears what God is going to do to Sodom and Gomorrah (and that’s only because God chooses to tell him), and thinks to himself, “Oh shit, my cousin is there. I don’t want him to die.”
So Abraham starts out small. He says, “if I can find 50 good people, you won’t murderhobo everyone?” “Fine,” God replies. Now Abraham has something he can work with. He tries 45, God says cool. Abraham gets God to agree on 40, 30, 20, 10, each time God agrees. At 10, God up and leaves, and Abraham just chills there.
But of course, they can’t find even 10 in those cities. Oh well

Yeah, that’s the story. Thanks for the correction.
God’s just trying to avoid a buffer overflow. So only one person per request.
