How do atheists explain theists' adherence to God.

I am Yrger the theist, I love to undertand how atheists think, for they must do thinking for they are rational animals (from Aristotle?) like myself.

Okay, paging all atheists in similarworlds.com, please come forward and explain how and why theists adhere to God.

Hi everyone, take notice that DocSavage is now into evasion, namely: not answering my request to him in concise words:
Please tell me what for you does our existence imply, and make it concise - please answer and abstain from bringing in a question to me, because then we would be going on and on and on and on with questions and more questions . . .


That has been always this evasive routine of DocSavage:
1. He says that our existence does not imply the existence of God.
2. So I ask him what does it imply, and to answer my request in concise words.
3. Now he has gone awol.


Paging DocSavage, please resume our dialogue:

You say our existence i.e. mankind does not imply the existence of God, and I tell you that I will shelf that negative statement of yours for the time being in regard to non-implication to God from our existence, but tell me what our existence implicate then? And tell me in concise words.

Hi DocSavage, you tell me, "The question of existence itself is self evident."

Thanks, so we are existing and everything that we talk about is existing in one way or another, no need to prove that nothing became something which is absolute absurdity.


Now, you continue with the categorical negative statement:
"Our existence doesn’t imply god’s."

I will put that negative statement from you on the shelf for the time being.


Please tell me what for you does our existence imply, and make it concise - please answer and abstain from bringing in a question to me, because then we would be going on and on and on and on with questions and more questions . . .

The question of existence itself is self evident. It’s the mechanism you’re arguing. Not the results.
Our existence doesn’t imply god’s.
@yrger I think it might help you to understand that others will not comply will unreasonable requests.
This is not a topic for tweets, unless all you care about is fairy floss and trivia.
Deep topics require deep and serious thought.
If you are unable to read long tracts due to some form of dyslexia, Adult ADHD or dementia, then unfortunately that's your loss.
This is not a forum in which anyone has the right to boss others around or try to control their answers. If you try, others will either rebel or boycott you.

Yrger seems to think he’s Ray Comfort. Have you notice how his god argument are very similar to Ray’s banana claim. He thinks he’s being clever, but hasn’t done any actual research or put in any real effort to show evidence. It’s all about appearance to him.
@DocSavage Yeah. I've come to similar conclusions.
His approach seems quite arrogant to me - inviting atheists to justify their views succinctly, and then finding endless fault the replies, without actually reading or thinking about them.
Meanwhile. his definitions of god make no sense at all. I've heard plausible theist arguments from others. At times I think he's just not very articulate. Maybe he's an unusual form of troll - just likes trying to get a rise out of atheists.
I've decided he's just silly - at least on this issue.

@hartfire perhaps. I chased him over all his post just to sweat him some.
You’ll notice, he has a habit of having their own questions. He can do it, and he got mad when I did.
