I am looking forward to a talk next week given by a theist at a nearby college 'giving a response to New Atheism'.

Although the talk was interesting, it was a watershed moment when I realized that after a year of dwelling on the theism/atheism debate, I've grown weary of it. Many religious views have a long way to go before their beliefs are consistent with a scientific worldview, and the part of theism I would defend isn't -- in my opinion -- in any real danger of being marginalized by atheism anytime soon. For a while I was testing and developing my own views on theism, but I realize they've been steady now for a while. I'm curious to know if my interest in theism will revive, or if I'll pick something else to think about...
