What motivates theists to come here?

[abaris]

Some atheists can be nice people, but I see atheism, as an intellectual commitment, bleak and nihilistic and the arguments to support it are what I called lame.

Why are the arguments lame? Since I don't believe in the earth poofing into existence with fully equipped humans, I don't consider them lame. The other side arguing away the vast majority of the scientific community seems lame to me. Apart from the fact of the trinity not making any sense when it somes to Jesus' supposed suffering.

Also, you should know by now that most of our opinions and views of the world are anything but nilistic. Bleak maybe, but that's down to the stupidity of humanity or the powers that be. But never nihilistic.
