Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

There's no rule.

While you may reasonably ask why words are spelled the way they're spelled, it makes no sense to ask why they're pronounced the way they're pronounced.

Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

What's (not “whats”) the rule?

Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.

Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.

Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?

Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
