What do Theists Think About Atheists?

[Esquilax]

You're not stirring the shit at all. We're just talking.

Good.

And yes, I've constructed my own version of Christianity. I've cherry picked, redacted, reinterpreted and selectively edited it to fit the small space between my ears, my preformed world view and my personal morality. And you know what? I think each and every Christian has done the same. Otherwise, logically, we would all share the same views on everything. And we so palpably don't! You think there are arguments here, you should see what goes down in the private bits of Christian forums!

Aren't you concerned that you might be misinterpreting, though? I'm not one for Pascal's Wager, but if I did end up believing in a god, I probably wouldn't be so blase about avoiding his wrath.

As to what's the point? Because it helps me to cope with life. It brings me pleasure and comfort and saves me examining hard truths too closely.

Sounds more like a worldview than a religion to me. Then again, I'm not gonna presume to tell you what you are; you're more open about it than most, which is way refreshing, anyway.
