This soul stuff you talk about is just your imagination.

I know that's what you believe, and just as I will not attempt to change your beliefs, so I will not have mine changed by another. I won't tell you that you're wrong - I see both realms. In the physical realm logic demands that my beliefs are pure imagination. In the spiritual realm imagination becomes reality. I don't expect you to understand.

Same arguments for 10 billion times. Same "I don't care I will believe anyway". Same "atheists suck".
Again and again and again. It's like I'm watching same movie over and over.
Same shit that was 1 year ago. 5 years ago. 10 years ago. No difference whatsoever.

Why is there no progress?

The better question would be why do you see it as 'progress'?

I'm not aware the human race has set itself any targets regarding these issues.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Just tell the other person that you believe in Zeus, Odin, or some other deity like Baal. And then convert him to that belief.

So there was at least SOMETHING new 500 years ago. In science there is constantly something new. Theory of relativity for instance was discovered some 100 years ago. Puancare conjecture in math was solved in 1982.
But in theology there is absolutely nothing. Seems like they run out of ideas some 400 years ago.

The Poincaré conjecture wasn't proven until 2003, but the point is valid.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

When people have refuted the same arguments and claims for 2000 years, there's not much new to say.

Unless you have something new to contribute.
