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 DocSavage, do you at all notice that you are arguing against God existing on an ad hoc* sinkhole fall, you have no logical intelligent system whatsoever.

In my case I have a rational logical intelligent system, namely:
1. I start with the fact and truth that we humans exist.
2. We did not bring outselves into existence.
3. Our parents brought us into existence.
4. Their parents brought them into existence.
5. And on and on until finally I face the fact and truth.
6. That there must exist a being that is the first cause.
7. And that being is God the permanent self-existent creator and operator of everything that is not Himself.
8. Therefore God exists and we are the evidence thereof.
