How do atheists explain theists' adherence to God.

@DocSavage

This is from theLast time I asked him a question. He didn’t answer, so I did, and he couldn’t refute it.
You might notice, he never answers the questions himself, he can’t. So he throws them back. Not much of a theist is he ?

@DocSavage I'm now convinced that he's not very bright.
Without knowing what he's doing, he's trying to use an ineffective dialectical strategy to prove that any atheist is misguided, flawed and psychologically skewed.
In his view, if they weren't they would of course "know" that his version of god exists.
I think replying to him just feeds his delight in playing the game - which is really an egotistical attempt at trying to prove he's "right" in a public forum.
He hasn't mentioned love, empathy, ethics or any of the things that matter most in a socially and psychologically healthy life.
Hopeless case.

@hartfire
actually , after I destroyed his claim the first time.( of Many ) he claimed his creator god was in fact responsible for why humans feel love. Of course, it took billions of years for us to evolve to a point we could experience it.

@DocSavage There's so much that's weird about his point of view - I find it hard to imagine that he's the age he shows on his profile - seems much younger or maybe on the way to dementia.

I see love in the bonding instincts of herd and pack animals, in the bonds between bird pairs and flocks, and in the way mothers and sometimes other relatives nurture their young.
I see love in every action which supports the wellbeing of life.
And even though many humans are prone dysfunctional forms of love, I believe healthy love is as deep a need air air, water, food, shelter and security. I see giving and receiving it as natural, inevitable and one of life's most profound and welcome experiences.

As for gods - I see such the concept as useful to society during many of its developmental phases, but not necessary once one understands science and evolution.

@hartfire
My biggest objection to the idea of a creator, has always been the human aspect of it. Yrger brought up the subject of love when I answered my own question of who created god.
He couldn’t get around it, so he tried to argue love as proof of a loving god. All the characteristics of his god cater to humanity. Not practical for so large a universe. And for the most part science can provide a better answer, including the origin of love.
His sole reason for god, is a starting point for existence. But like all theist, he needs to custom build a supernatural being to get the job done. It’s all about ego.
