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.

It really is a case of seeking how to exist rather than how we came to exist.

As the Buddha has said, beliefs and "views" on the how we came to exist, conclusions, simply preclude actually any finding of our own true time, path and place - and how to actualise such Reality.

As I said earlier. God isn’t so much a what, or a how. It’s a why. You got to wonder why a god would need to create the universe without some kind of agenda. One that he could not incorporate into creating at the on set.
Yrger here considers god the only possible reason for why something can come from nothing. Which is why all theist need god. They need him to break the rules.
