The experience says the explanation of theism exhibits no indication of correlation to reality because it can't predict anything which was not already known when the explanation was formulation, therefore theism is, to anyone with a reasonably sophisticated ability to process experience, unsound based on experience.
The point, Chuck... is that it *feels* true to them based on their experience, which often involves a childhood indoctrination within it.
The doubting skeptic on the other hand feels estranged by their experiences with such, and are left more humbled, or in a state prone to rejection. Truth is more... malleable, for these people. It is not static... it is not unquestioning... it is not the end all.
Not unless they're foolish enough to think that this time it'll be different... optimists are amusing
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
