One of the tropes of "serious", sophisticated theologians is that modern atheists don't devote the necessary level of effort required to understand these Deep Thoughts, emanating from the bowels of Sophisticated Theological academia.
Unfortunately, I've never, not once read anything from a Sophisticated Theologian, that wasn't the same platitudes, fallacies, vacuity, and fuzzy-headed nonsense their less sophisticated compadres routinely trot out. Complicated nonsense with big words, is still nonsense. Grounds of Being notwithstanding.
I've asked many a so-called Sophisticated Theologian to describe the procedures/processes/means whereby their field of "study" adds one whit to humanity's body of knowledge. After a few feeble stabs of Aquinas! and the Five Proofs!, they usually shut their gobs. I can only assume they have no data, nor processes, nor knowledge, nor anything tangible.
It's akin to the Emperor with no clothes criticizing modern fashion. You Village Atheists aren't educated enough to discuss such vaunted subjects!
And yet, there is no there, there. All attempts to discover a "there" have failed.
Hmmm, I'm thinking I need to scan my house for bugs.
