I don't really understand the purpose of theists and atheists debating their positions. Is it done merely for entertainment, is each trying to convert the other? There is no evidence for the existence of deities, so how does one debate something that is not based in reality?
It does not matter to me whether I lack a belief in gods or that I believe there are no gods. I see both as the same statement. I lack a belief that blue unicorns fly around the moon, and I also believe that blue unicorns do not fly around the moon. I lack a belief that the universe was created by a supernatural being, and I believe there is no supernatural being who created the universe.
You believe that there is a supernatural being who created all, knows all, and punishes those who do not worship said being, and that this belief must be based on faith. How does any one debate such a position?
