I lack the necessary fucks to be an anti-theist. People can believe almost anything they've been trained to believe. Not my job to talk them out of it and, whether or not they are actually qualified, my policy is to treat adults as adults. It's their life, they make the calls. (Of course if that leads to trespassing on my lifestyle choices, that's another story.)
Besides I remain curious as to why the god hole seems so compelling to so many. I'm not jealous, just curious. I'm more eager to understand it than to stamp it out. Doesn't mean I'll be tolerant to condescending apologists or over-eager missionaries. Those who get all up in my grill will be swatted. But until then I'm just gonna do me and let them do them.
I don't entirely get anti-theism either. I think it comes from thinking it is all a scheme hatched by slimeballs to extract tithes and ruin people's Sundays. I'm inclined to think there is no clandestine mob bosses running religion as a racket. While some may lose their way, I suspect those higher up are acting on the same koolaid as they're passing out to everyone else.
