The article sounds just as pretentious as the topic creator, who sounds just as pretentious as the ancient text that he bases his life around. If you want to talk about intellectually bankrupt: How about taking an ancient text like the bible, and believing it to be the word of god based on nothing more than that the text makes the claim of being the word of god.
Adam and Eve, the flood, the exodus from Egypt. All of these things are nothing more than myths. If any of these things were true, you'd find most of them in every culture throughout the world. You wouldn't confine them only to the Jews, and later Christians and Muslims. You'd find evidence of the plagues of Egypt in Egyptian Culture. Some Christians are willing to admit that these are myths. Nothing more than stories. Of course they still don't quite go far enough to say that everything in the bible is nothing more than myth because they lack proof that any of it was even remotely inspired by god.
Simply put: You can argue that a god exists all you want using the cosmological argument. Maybe one exists. Most atheists are agnostic atheists. But the simple fact is that your Christian God isn't the God that exists if one does exist. That much I'm certain of.
