Are all of these theist vs atheist debates pointless?

atheist annoy me

I don't see how in this day and age, so many people still believe in the primitive belief of religion. It's like people still believing the world is flat. It's like people still believing Zeus is up there and responsible for lightning bolts. I'd be willing to bet 1 million-to-one odds the bible is merely a story written by MAN rather than some supernatural guy in the sky.

Atheism is not "based on proof". You can't prove that God doesn't exist; it's just as much a matter of faith as theism is.

Very pointless and they go on forever until one side gets tired bc its nearly impossible to convince the other side to give up their beliefs or believe in something they don't want too. It's a waste of time really.

Well, not really, there are some people who keep talking about it all the time, just imagine how bored they'd be without those debates.

I may take up any belief I choose,my choice will reflect my gullibility,or lack of it.

There are millions of very gullible,or week minded folk in all faiths,,the leaders know this,and cash in.

They seem pointless because the theists and atheists both believe that they are right

I facepalm when I see people arguing back and forth about it. It's futile.

Yes as well as politics

Theists justify their actions through violence. They say they don't, and that they promote peace, but our history says otherwise.

You don't seem to understand the point of what you have called "Debates".

Have all the faith you want... Faith isn't the problem... The problem is the HORRIFIC SH*T that is justified by "Faith".

Honor Killings are justified by "Faith".

Honor Suicides are justified by "Faith".

Incest is justified by "Faith".

Rape is justified by "Faith".

Torture is justified by "Faith".

Witch Hunting/Murder/Torture is justified by "Faith".

Child Rape is justified by "Faith".

Child Marriage is justified by "Faith".

Witch Hunting is justified by "Faith".

Homophobia is justified by "Faith".

Slavery is justified by "Faith".

Domestic Violence is justified by "Faith".

Genocide is justified by "Faith".

War is justified by "Faith".

Racism is justified by "Faith".

Censorship is justified by "Faith".

Oppressive Theocracies are justified by "Faith".

Misogyny is justified by "Faith".

Murder is justified by "Faith".

Just look at what the Vatican has gotten away with over the last 1700 years... Look at what Islam has gotten away with over the last 1400 years...

The horrors done by evoking "Faith" have killed more than cancer.

The point of these so-called "Debates" is to try and stop people from claiming the moral high ground while supporting the most horrific things humans are capable of.
