RE: Gaps in theistic arguments. Secular theism vs religious theism

I don't understand how anything of this is relevant to the OP: the issue of who the necessary being is if even a "who" at all. The OP is not about whether or not cosmological arguments and design arguments work to show a type of necessary being, but how they fail to tell us which "being." How they fail to prove any religious view and how secular theism would be preferable. I'd like to get back on this topic.

It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot

We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing. - Gore Vidal
