Theism and Western atheism are on the same continuum. Both are realist.

That is quite absurd. Your “you think the same” comment is extremely misleading, reductionist, and quite dishonest of you (demonstrating your willingness to misrepresent your opponent just to get a perceived “edge”). Hmmm, I wonder who that sounds like!

Its not misleading at all. Existence and nonexistence are the two core delusions which form the basis of every other delusion. Atheists and theists have the same core delusion.

You quote your "god" Nagarjuna who said ...

Yet this statement is purely arbitrary, false, and self contradictory. First, stating any ontological position whatsoever automatically puts one “at fault” (as in “wrong”?). NOPE! This is purely false and unsupported. But hey, now THERE is a POSITION! Your Buddhist god dude (whom you seem to bow down and worship) just contradicted himself by stating a position. And you buy into this guy’s ‘philosophy of negation’…why??

You will fit right into this forum, since you make criticisms against things which noone has asserted. Nagarjuna was a monk, not a god. Secondly, he doesn't say "stating any ontological position whatsoever automatically puts one “at fault”". He says since he doesn't put forth a philosophical position, he cannot be faulted.

This is a pure non-sequitur. The fact that for something to exist it must have arisen “from another” (even if true) in no way refutes the idea that things exist.

Do you even read what you write? This is contradictory. If I negate arising, I negate existence, since you admit that existence and arising are related.

And I don’t care if you aren’t making that argument directly.

Atleast you are being up front about inserting words in my mouth.
