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.

Before anything else, I Yrger theist challenge you DocSavage atheist to prove that God does not exist.

------------------

Hi DocSavage, thanks for coming out with your declaration about what atheism means, but I want you to issue a personal proclamation to this effect:
"I DocSavage am an atheist: because I know God as understood by Yrger theist to not exist, and I can prove it."

Here is what I say about myself being theist:
"I am Yrger theist: because I know that God exists as the creator and operator of everything that is not God Himself and I can prove it."

So, I am going to wait to witness you DocSavage atheist make the personal declaration above.

Hi all people in similarworlds.com, the man DocSavage atheist will not ever make that personal proclamation, in which case we have to examine his psychology of adherence to atheistm - which is a psychology of retreat instead of advance.

You DocSavage can run but you cannot hide from all members of similarworlds.com, starting with me Yrger.
