The thing I don't understand about theists, is they claim a naturalistic/empirical/materialist worldview has no more of a solid basis than believing in a a Jewish Sky Monster (JSM), weird ghosty and his zombie son. One in three, three in one (oh, please!).
Yet, they must use the very same 5 senses to arrive at such a belief -- effectively level setting all of that brain in a vat nonsense. We *all* only have the same tools to observe information about reality, whatever it may be. Without reading (sight, hearing or touch) the Bible, the theist wouldn't *know* shit about the JSM and hizsef as hizsef. And don't go off on "personal revelation" either. If you do, then you've got to explain why Ol' connivin' Joe Smith's or Mohamed's (pig shit be upon him) "personal revelations" aren't just as valid as urin'.
Where the theism falls apart, is using those same senses, being unable to demonstrate any congruence between JSM belief and reality. Empiricists have centuries of success and have raised our modern standard of living higher than a king of a two hundred years ago could even dream.
Theism? A big fat zero. Go ahead theists, make a verifiable prediction about something in the near future. We both know you can't. Psycho babble about some heavenly realm/invisible dimension/next world/life in the hereafter is all you've got; on par with crystal therapy, homeopathic medicine or a worshiper of Zeus.
