I debate just for the hell of debating. Atheist/Theist debates are good for that because neither side can ever firmly establish their position or provide any empirical evidence to validate their positions. Consequently, it's a debate of philosophy and reasoning and that, to me, is what makes the debates so enjoyable.

Now, while I am a theist, I see the debating game as just that...a game. I approach it like a game of chess. You need to have good debating skills and you sometimes need to be able to psych-out your opponent. And as heated as it might get, there's no actual animosity. If I wasn't a Muslim, I'd probably take most of these atheists out to the pub after debating them tooth and nail here ;)

Except for the atheism side. Every. Single. Time.

If theists knew when they were beat and how to lose most of the religion debates on this site would be half as long as they are.

i think we should debate it. it provides different perspectives to be heard. plus, i like a challenge. yall also tend to call us ignorant, but we see yall the same way.

Really? I've never seen an atheist debate that has proven the non-existence of god. If you can show me some irrefutable evidence of this claim, I will happily concede this debate to you.

A lot of public Atheism is based in the need for insecure people to feel that they are more correct than everyone around them. For them, stuff like ending Biblically-justified discrimination, fighting Islamic terrorism, etc are second to their own little personal guerrilla war against the creeping feeling that they are wrong.

Yeah because "I'M POPULAR, I'LL NEVER DIE! LOVE ME! LOVE ME!" doesn't imply insecurity in the slightest....

a) because my one-liner self-summary on this casual debate forum site totally encapsulates me as a human being, right

b) you are real bad at jokes

And where's the proof that shows you are correct? You're dead wrong. I'm not saying you are wrong because I like to think so, I'm saying you are wrong because you actually are.

You're a hypocrite. What makes it even worse is you ascribe your own real characteristics to others.

You are wrong and deep down you know it, you simply aren't mature enough to face it and accept it.

that's a lot to pull out of some text on a screen, buddy! i'm also not sure what you're asking me for proof of or what you're insisting i'm wrong about, but if this is something personal i'd prefer to take it back to that message conversation we have going! you remind me a lot of me as a kid so i'm trying not to be rude, but please, let's not inflict our bickering on the public!

Sorry I would say Assface is correct if they had posted all public Atheism then I would agree with you, but they posted most Public Atheism whilst you may not agree it is true, I would have posted some Atheist's if it had been my post but thats just me. Some Atheist's do believe they are correct and everyone else is wrong and their own opinions on religion are more important than the ending of what is bad in Religion and these are normally the ones that are more vocal about it.

If you truly believe all Atheists are not like this then you are wrong.

I don't disagree with you, but couldn't the same be said for those who profess their religion publicly? Or any belief, really? So why single out atheists if they're not the only ones who do this frequently?

And, on a very personal and subjective note, I don't think I fit your stereotype. I'm not an atheist, but I argue atheist arguments publicly pretty often, and I do it a) because I genuinely enjoy debating and writing and religion is a good subject for this because it is a hot button issue and b) I like to test my own beliefs and conclusions against other peoples arguments and criticisms. This is certainly examining the possibility I may be wrong, but this doesn't sounds to me like fighting against the suspicion I might be wrong. I like to think I'll go where the evidence takes me.

I only continued with the singling out of Atheists as that was what Nummi and Assface were already debating, I was going to add that some Theist's do exactly the same thing but it was going to make my post too long. I agree that some Theist's and some Atheist's are just as bad as each other and I enjoy debating religion and take whichever side will give me a good debate I frequently debate both the Atheist and Theist side sometimes on the same debate!!

Sharing ideas is the whole point behind debating, and the internet is the best avenue for access to millions of potential debators.

exactly, it shares different perspective and ideas to be heard and obtained. ive heard some pretty interesting view points from atheist. it hasn't changed my decision one bit, but it does challene me to go back and study some more. although the debates seem to always get technical and specific on certain issues, it still in my eyes comes down to a choice to either believe or not. its a faith that is offered so anything offerend can either be received or rejected...
