Excellent and important point, which in and of itself discredits a Fundamentalist approach to the Bible.
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

"So, returning to your theological claim, how could someone determine if the reality they experience is a hologram created by a creator or if the reality they experience is exactly as their senses perceive it?"

Exactly.

That is worth a donation.
Goose, cooked.
I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.

You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.

To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight

You have accurately pointed out the problem with a certain kind of thinking. Your post has, unsurprisingly, been entirely ignored.

Very well reasoned. Truth that should be more widely understood.
To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Goose is merely trying to deflect the conversation.
Thank you for your considerate and well thought out responses.
I know I do not have the patience.

"Atheist: If god had those characteristics, we'd see results that we simply do not see. Therefore, no god of that sort exists."

Exactly!

"I'd be surprised if there were many (if any) major/consistent differences between atheists and theists around the world in any of the four more basic tiers."

Exactly.
