What Do You Feel Is Wrong with Theism?

[robtex]

I have to ask you - are you seriously asserting that you speak for God?

Well hey you're not gonna so somebody's got to do it!

I simply would like more than scriptures, people's belief and faith, before I can take the 1st step of believing, like some real evidences, or even his manifestation - physical, spiritual or otherwise.

Quoting passages from scripture is all well and fine from literary point of view, but that's all it is. They are no good without real substances to support them.

The creation found in the Genesis is not really much better than the myths found in other civilizations and cultures, and hardly prove that God made this earth, let alone the universe. And like other myths and old religion, the Abrahamic religions have used superstitions and tried to explain something that they don't understand.

The angelic visitations or demonic possessions sound no better than today's UFO phenomena and alien abductions, all of it, without evidences to support their claims.

I'll refrain from commenting on the rest of your post (especially the part about there being "evidence for the existence of logic".

One of my favorite quotes of all time:

“Is that the way of things? God tells Brady what is good; to be against Brady is to be against God!” – Spencer Tracy, as Henry Drummond in Inherit the Wind

I do not speak for God more than any other Christian. All believers are ambassadors in Christ.
The Gadfly is here to have fun as well as to debate and defend the faith. A little laughter is good for the soul.

Very true. I thank you for providing it.

 

[Scuba Pete]

Yeah... I think you have thanked him enough now!

They are the most widely accepted views unfortunately in some cases. It is sad that science can trace our beginnings back to a bacterial level and yet its not enough proof for some theists. What proof do they need, honestly? Is science just wrong because it disagrees with biblical scripture?

They are entitled to believe what they want, as are we. Since we cannot prove either way there is and always will be debate sadly. Unforunately atheists can be and are just as stubborn. Its a fact of life that we all wish we could prove what we cant

Also: I've met my fair share of theists who are very close minded, i struggle to speak to them on an intellectual level, but on the same note, ive met some atheists exactly the same.
