@variant. I'm not being snippy. I'm simply trying to lay down some points to some of your atheist compatriots about how all this stuff meshes in theory and practice.
I consider constant complaining about methodological naturalism to be very snippy if given no alternative workable epistemology.
The one point that I haven't gotten to yet is that when it comes to methodology and "justified true beliefs," no epistemological system is trouble free. But apparently, we have both atheists and Christians who nearly seem to think their respective views are superbly efficacious in dealing with the God question, to which I have to say that if either atheists or Christians really could be efficacious in this regard, then that would make the New Testament false.
Many if not most of atheists I know think that their epistemology is completely unproductive in dealing with God questions. If they think otherwise I generally disabuse them of such an idea.
This is of course a problem for the idea in my opinion not a good feature.
If this comes off as dismissive by most atheists you meet, it is because it absolutely is.
