The Limits of Philosophy

I think that philosophical arguments have a limited value in religious, religious life and in coming to believe. I don't want some sort of minimal threshold of rationality. Like, where theists really do have the upper hand is like total explanatory power. If you are committed to atheism, you just have so much explanatory work to do. It's far simpler than an atheistic or naturalistic alternative. But maybe there's somebody smarter than him who can then show why he didn't actually tear it to shreds. And therefore I'm afraid I'm deluding myself. Yeah.
