Christianity is heading for a full allegorization

[GrandizerII]

@GrandizerII The average theist makes those exact same philosophical assumptions about reality. Then they go and add a few more on top.

By average theist, I'm assuming you mean the theist that respects science and goes along with what the scientific consensuses say and still sees room for God's existence?

Well, yeah, they go beyond what the science says and ... via reasoning not sufficiently backed by science, conclude that God exists, that God is such-and-such. But many of us atheists do the same anyway, in terms of going beyond the science. So it's not exclusive to theist. And there's nothing irrational about that (well, perse). After all, we have to adopt philosophical views not backed by science in order to accept the legitimacy of science. So even those who say they are strictly about science are guilty of adopting scientifically unjustified views.
