Theism can be as rational as anything can be rational...
It depends which kind of theism you have dealt with before. There are two kinds of theism, rational and irrational.

Honored to be here in the forums with open-minded people like you.
I thought I gave you a miserable welcome
... must try harder next time...
I'm also not open minded. I'm shut on the entire idea of religion. I'll still go through the motions of discussing it though
It's unfortunate if you are not open minded about the entire idea of religion. But, I understand. If someone comes to you and says that he believes in God and the reason is just faith- a rational person like you will get annoyed. But I may have different reasons for my belief.
