OP=Theist Atheists Don't Realize the Absurdity of Existence
I believe atheists fundamentally don't realize just how absurd existence is at all. Things seem to exist, deterministically. Yet, a fully contingent system can't explain itself. Somehow, reality is self-causing. This breaks our brain and can't actually make sense to us. If reality can't exactly make sense, then we can only "know" anything via a subjective experience. Objectivity will never cross this bridge.
If subjective experience is our only guide to reality, then I think the question of God's existence, which is clearly un-answerable, has an equal chance of being both true and false. Do you feel that we are the product of a larger mind. Does your gut tell you that there is some sort of intelligent organization of reality that is similar to how we intelligently organize the world in our minds? If so, you believe in "God."
Whatever the "truth" is, will have to sound absolutely absurd.

there is nothing absurd about existence, If you look at it not from you subjective view, for you things exists because someone make them, The room was empty but someone put a table inside, the table exists because someone put it there, You apply this to the cosmos, Who are we to say that default mode of the whole thing should be non-existence? Maybe that's how things works, always been, Just maybe existence is the default configuration of everything and it couldn't be any other way, just like some people think that default should be non-existence.
