Also, don't you think it's tenuous to claim the mind of God?

This is what I love about theists. I give an overview of my philosophy, which is evidentiary skepticism and support for a terrestrial morality, and I'm accused of making selfish, tenuous claims.

Whereas the believer claims not only to KNOW there's a God, but which God is the real one. Not only that, they know the mind of God; they know what he wants. They know his plan, or at least claim they know he has a plan. They know his Son, they know his books. In fact, the believer actually claims to know the Creator on a personal level.

Oh, but the believer is humble. Yes, those are humble beliefs...

Well, when they create God in their own image, it's pretty easy.

Those are characterizations. That’s as intellectually dishonest as characterizing all atheists as socialistic/communistic, with all due respect.
