Lately there has been a growning tension between atheists( the non beleivers) and the theists(the beleivers) all over the net forums of both sides are brisrtling with insults and its gone to the piont were we dont know who started this ever growning debate( and even if we did know it would not stop). In all objectivity i would like tpo say in a sense both sides are guilty of attacking each other; On all forums those who beleive post and blog insults and vice versa. i find this quite childish,this is how genocides and wars start; One side acuses the other side of injustice or just existing and declares a war or irradication of said side.If both sides think that they are right, that there theory is truth(Im calling it a theory because we cant truly and honestly prove that there is the existence of a all powerfull god or not) why dont thye just leave each other alone because they know that truth(them) and not falseness will prevail at one piont or another, they just have to wait.

lets stop fighting each other, grow up, respect each other, move on and agree to disagree.

to Boyofman:

I see the point you are trying to make; however, I do not agree with what you are saying.  The purpose of the site is to share ideas, see what other people think.  That is what we are doing.  We are not using guns to prove our points and make others believe.  We are using our words to engage in intelligent arguements about these subjects.  "War does not determine who is right, it determines who is left".  However, debates and brainstorming sessions can determine who is correct. Perhaps, not on this matter because of its nature. 

I have no hatred for those who oppose my viewpoints. Infact, I welcome those arguements so that I may be able to refute them and present my side of the story.  Granted, sometimes I  may have verbally "attacked" someone, but that in no way means I would cause this person any physical harm for not seeing things my way.  Actually, we had a debate on religion last night at my house with a couple of friends over beers.  When it was over, we shook hands and there was no tension.  The way I disagree with your statement, I garuntee will not cause a war between us.
