Theism is literally childish

[emjay]

Frankly alpha, I'm sick and tired of this argument. Take that as you will, as I already said, was entirely your prerogative, but I have no intention of arguing from now until Christmas with someone hellbent on equivocating at every turn; if you really, truly, see magic (ie supernatural... unexplainable, unaddressable, and unfalsifiable by science) as equally plausible, if not more, than physical evidence then there's nothing more I can say; the gap between our thinking is just too wide to ever be breached.

That's bullshit, as in this area you don't have evidence. As noted, the evidence is stacked against you.

So let's leave this where we started; you can think I'm deluded or a hypocrite, or whatever else you think...

Hypocrite. As I said, I don't see either side as deluded. And I don't try to get around it by saying that certain people aren't deluded, but show all the symptoms or whatever of delusion. That was cheap.

and that's entirely your prerogative. But that does not change the fact that I believe you, and other theists like you, are deluded in your beliefs...

Well at least now you're being honest.

and as such, to the extent that you recommend descent into the same delusion as a means to find god, all I can say is 'no thanks'... that has literally no rational appeal to me as it is a self-fulfilling prophesy and I will not willfully walk into one.

I'm not recommending it. Do whatever you like. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

As I said, think what you want, but I'm done here.
