Theists aren't theists because they've read a book and thought critically about its contents, because let's be honest here: there has to be an extraordinary amount of cognitive dissonance taking place to ignore how scripture is utter bullshit, and I sincerely doubt anyone is that far gone. No, theists are simply theists because other theists believe the same thing. It's much easier to ignore the bullshit of the written word when a group of people stand together in unifying faith as though that alone is sufficient for the belief to be non-fiction. They want to believe in the fairy tale more than the truth, because it's unsettling for them to accept that there is no god. Theism is nothing more than satiating one's comfort from the realistic truth.
