    Re: Scope of vision

    Somehow that's more or less what I expected.

    Absolutely nothing

    Once a person has an experience with God, there is nothing that can unconvince him.
    Similar to a person, who is run over by a car, who is later visited by the FBI, and told that there are no cars within ten thousand miles of here.
    God must seek the person, before the person will ever seek God with sincerity. The nature of humanity is inate rebellion. It is a virus in the human operating system installed by a trojan horse, called the temptation of the apple, that infected all descendant operating systems, and only the original programmer (Jesus), can remove the virus, and restore the O.S. back to normal.

    Oh,really?From my own experience,I know it's posssible to cure people from "God" experiences.Let's just I had experience in that.
    If I was able to strand myself(and I was faar more than just a believer),than anyone else,but ,of course,if YOU want to.People don't want to strand themselves from faith...

    Religion is a sentimental response, not a logical one. Thus the answer to your question is "death."

    theists to stop believing in what? theism?

    theism? Perhaps you are trying to call the attention of mono- and polytheists.
    I believe there is one God who created the worlds. But I do believe there exist gods.

    The very nature of mankind is atheism. But for some creative reason, ancient man needed guidance. He got that guidance from the stars. He created a guider later he called 'god,' because 'god' was 'good.' Later he created 'religion.' It worked for a time, but then it failed. Then later man argued over 'god,' but they realized no 'god' could exist. They were then called 'atheists.' And, they prevailed in the end. People wizened up. They realized they didn't need a 'god' after all. The End.

    nothing quite so dramatic required - the path of falling away from spiritual life is quite clear and easy - associating to intimately with gross materialists and developing an offensive attitude to saintly persons and scripture in general

    Kendall-I would think we needed a god because we did not know enough about our world, that the only thing worse then a bad king is no king.

    which explains why its not uncommon to meet theists practicing on an uncommon level of performance

    CC Antya 3.213: A characteristic of a pure devotee is that he excuses any offense by an ignorant rascal. A characteristic of Kṛṣṇa, however, is that He cannot tolerate blasphemy of His devotees.
