Re: In the case against religious theism, what is so damning...
[ QUOTE ]
There is no longer a "case against religious theism", it is over. The people believing in religion/god are either choosing to ignore the arguments against it (which are almost innumerable and overwhelming), or arguing that its value justifies it. I would agree that truth and value are sometimes different things. I just don't think religion justifies itself. But the idea that an argument still needs to be made against religion, theism, etc is pretty laughable, and has been for at least a hundred years.

No. I say let religion stand on its own two feet. I'll never make the argument that religion is valuable thus it should be practiced. And until you explain your origination (tracing all the way back to the beginning of life as well as matter), then the debate is still very much open.
