Many, if not most, Intelligent Theists, have very good reasons for believing as we do. I freely admit that most, if not all, of my reasons for believing are based on evidence which can not be shared.
The issue I have with fundies and antitheists is the tendency for members of both groups to think that anyone who disagrees with them is either stupid, delusional and just needs to be preached at in order to get them to change their mind. You have your reasons for believing as you do, and I have reasons for believing as I do.
I agree with you on one very important thing: Children shouldn't be indoctrinated into any religion, far better to teach them to think for themselves and find their own faith, or lack there of.
I wish I Could be an Atheist Sometimes
