It's easy to look at this post as post hoc rationalizing.
But I'm wondering how you became obsessed with theists after joining this forum. There aren't very many here at all.
And what do you claim reality is, whatever it is that theists don't see?
Well the particular idiot that peaked my interest was an Eastern European Orthodox Christian by the name of IFightForJesus a rather ill educated person it seems had heard of christianity but actually knew not a lot about it and its history, you'd be surprised how often this is the case, but I digress, I was introduced to this poster by a friend of mine who was an administrator on this forum a sort of "look at the sort of morons we get here" kind of thing and then I was hooked. You'd also be surprised at the amount of theistic idiots that pass through they be thin on the ground by gum they're entertaining Waldorf and Statler was a high point in self delusion trying to make the facts fit the bible by postulating that light travelled instantaneously in one direction and other twists of the mind to try and bend an uncooperative reality to fit with his god made world.
Theists tend to see a world made by god, they see a nice vista, god did that, someone gets saved unexpectedly in some way, god did that, but when the opposite happens god never gets the blame now does it, So theists go into the world with god tinted spectacles as a preconceived way of looking at the world. the only way to remove prejudged ideas from how we view anything is to rigorously apply the scientific method. When you do that to all the evidence none of it even hints at the existence of the thing you call god. So non-belief is the only option for any rational intelligent suitably informed person.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
