Style over Substance

I am wondering if other atheists would agree when viewing debates between Atheists and Theists, that the generally in these debates theists while saying little to nothing which has any substance. While the Atheists have a lot to say which has substance, while they don't preform as great when it comes to style.

Theists have an emotional identity connection to their belief systems. For a lot of theists a belief system is the foundation upon which they structure their life. You go after that and you are going to get more emotion and passion in the defense of that belief system which prohibits any attempts at rational examination of the belief.


The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
