Try to accuse me of missing the point if you like, but it won't make your position and argument any more credible, especially when you never present a single argument in favour of your position.

You flail at knocking down something you see as woo and subsequenty fail to see what the rational point that POV is making.Moving the goalposts and creating a straw man. You clearly stated that atheism was irrational because "it is formed from a lack of understanding of something". Now it is apparently irrational because it has to subscribe to materialism. There are atheists who do not subscribe to materialism at least in it's most narrow definitions. But then you probably don't understand as you believe magic and mysticism can be rational. As for flailing I have presented a short version of an argument for the meaningless of theism and you've presented diddly squat, yet again.
