Theism and Western atheism are on the same continuum. Both are realist.
RE: Theism and Western atheism are on the same continuum. Both are realist.
Reading through this entire "debate" gives me headache.

There recently was a political scandel here in which the defence minister was found to be a fraud, who simply copied his phd disatation for law from another disatation. And after some time a parlamentary comitee came together to question him and to decide if he could still stay in office.
Now imagine him saying in his defence:

"Oh of course it might "seeeeem" like if I was a fraud, but just take a look at if from a further intergalactic or or smaller microcosmic point of view, from which we all are nothing more than little meaningless atoms circling in a unconected void."
