Best Atheist Objections to Theism

But for theism, you must go a few steps further. You need to have God involved in his creation, answer prayers, reveal himself to people, direct their thoughts so that he is accurately represented, and also keep a watch on copying the manuscripts. From my experience and understanding, most theists become such due to their upbringing. It was certainly true in my case. And then, as people become rooted in their faith, they look for reasons.

Which is curious, because it’s as if people understand that IF their faith be true, it must have some reasons behind it. Theists are not content with just believing and leaving it at that

Very early in my Christian life I had this experience. https://discourse.biologos.org/t/my-turkish-translator-experience/40632

It was because of that experience that when I did do about 10-12 years of serious doubt about christianity, I couldn’t get past that experience, which I feel strongly does show God’s involvement in this world. I know you will call it a fluke but i would suggest that one would have to in order to maintain an agnostic/atheistic position.

Just so you will know my belief is not due to my upgringing, My father was an atheist and my mother a sociopath–yes she had religious beliefs, but the abuse she gave to her children certaintly didn’t attract us to christianity.

PS: probably won’t be able to respond. I am spending large chunks of time at MD Anderson.
