Theists and atheist will always argue.Its like a guy who likes white chocolate trying to convince the guy who hates white chocolate that it tastes great.

I'm pretty much new enough to these volconvo debates but after only a couple of weeks you can notice that the same arguments about religion are expounded post after post in increasingly more complex analogies and allegories. It seems obvious that the people who lead these debates are more than capable of realizing the ins and outs of both sides but consciously ignore what the other person is saying, boiling down to the canopy stand off of one of the following.

(A) I believe that God exists
(B) I believe that he doesn't exist

Because of the overriding urge of both sides to treat any topic as an opportunity to prove or disprove their FUNDAMENTAL belief in one of the above , all points of views in every particular "debate" about religion seems to narrow down to those above 2 questions.

It seems from nearly every religious thread here, that both sides for the most part are incapable of accepting contrasting beliefs over the existence of God.

Thats not debating. Can people forget what they believe for th sake of debating the thread when it comes to religion? Of course many thread pose the question of whether god exists or not so in those instances no..but many many topic here seem to be destroyed by the insistence of those adamant about their believe in the A and B above

If I hear the you cant prove God exists so its stupid line one more time!!!
