It's All About That Faith, Bout That Faith

Theists are people who practice theism. The actions and thus the beliefs involved with theism are irrational and the people who practice those actions and beliefs are being irrational in their practice. Accommodationism is nothing to be proud of.
And atheists are often irrational, humans are irrational, you're irrational, I'm irrational. This is a trait of your species, not something that homo sapiens atheista has out-grown. You're still proclaiming superiority when you really have no evidence of it.

Yes and in a debate "you" being wrong makes "me" right.
Also for reading comprehension, it's my second favorite game, sarcastically of course.

The fallacy gotcha game is not an actual argument, it's just buzzwords. And frequently misused which is why I asked @Sunstone to save us as he actually knows what he's talking about. Similarly the "Theists are inherently irrational" argument is ridiculous.

Additionally I want faith in something but feel I have to know it's true before I have faith in it. I don't consider these two things to be contradictory, insisting that they are makes no sense. It's like non-Christians insisting Christians have to be literalists. You're an outsider defining someone else's experience.
That's not faith.

Irrationality is something that we can be aware of and actively try to avoid. Nobody has made any claims of superiority except the theists who think they're God's best friend. If we hope to continue to improve the species and the planet, we cannot do so by continuing to wallow in our irrational past.
