    Alas, this is the very core question in the theist vs. atheist drama.
    If both groups were content with belief and letting the other keep their belief, there would be no friction. Yet this thread, among many others like it hidden in the Backroom, testifies that it is not so.

    Every debate or discussion across the expanse between the two groups always builds upon the presupposition that God exist (theist) or God don't exist (atheist).

    If there should be any debate between representatives from those two groups then it should be dealing with that particular presupposition. All other debates are built on it anyways and will always boil down to it.

    Yes, I know people keep talking about the "Does God exist" question; that doesn't mean it's not pointless, though

    What's so wrong with live and let live?

    You probably mean live and let live...
    No problem with me as I sit on the fence on this issue anyway. You got to ask Kadgar or any of the other individuals that keep opening these threads.
