You’re the one who told the boards that this was what you “consider” theism and how you rationalized the theistic component of your morality.
Neither of those things are theism, and if you want the mean atheists to stop thinking theists believe loopy shit, maybe you should stop believing in loopy shit, communicate yourself better, or not try some blatantly dishonest garbage?
Like I said, I already knew that you didn’t believe the shit you were saying, you just didn’t want to say what you do believe, or flat out don’t know how.
My money is on a combo of the two.
There -is- a moral position that actually is contingent on a theistic god, it’s just not a realist or objective position.
Lol, intervening and personal are not a requirement for theism. A theist can believe in a non-personal and non-intervening God.
This is not to say I don’t believe in a personal God, I just don’t believe it in the way some fundies do, or the way you think I should.
Knowledge of God, and knowledge of oneself go hand in hand, it’s far more personal than any scientific knowledge of the world. It’s about an intrusive truth, more present than the room I’m in, or my wife.
