Since no one on this board knows both sides and each sides weaknesses all debate will be frustrating unless its with someone on your side and both sides will think they are right and the other is wrong.

If you're saying that no one on this board knows both the Christian and atheist arguments, you're wrong. I, along with several other non-believers here, was once a very devout Christian. Since I sought out religion, I wasn't a passive,
just go to church when it's convenient Christian. I was a youth minister and had every intention of entering seminary. I was always seeking a deeper understanding, a transcendental experience. That desire to get closer to the mystical was what finally caused me to look beyond religion. I realized that the concept of gods was nonsensical and unnecessary for a spiritual life. In fact, they got in the way.
So I am aware of both sides of this topic, and to be completely honest, I can't comprehend anyone over the age of 30 still believing in mythical gods.
