Misses my point:
You're saying that both are equally likely to be correct because there is no evidence either way. This is false.
And how is it futile? Clearly it's an important question with ramifications no matter what the answer is.

But I'm afraid you misunderstand me (and terribly, at that). I am against bashing other religions or worldviews and generalized hate. This by no means, however, eliminates questioning and critique. (In fact, you'll notice in my post I said that it was good for atheists to criticize those aspects of religion that are in need of scathing criticism.) I'm all for spirited debate and rigorous questioning of any belief. But bashing and hate for other views? Never. |
Ah, my apologies.
