The mathematical integer scale easily demonstrates this analogy...+ 0 -.

yeah, thats what I have been saying since day one grab. The answer is in between anti-god and my-god-only (called deity).

what set of descriptors do we have that matches what the atheist say and what the theist say?

the answer is in-between grab. Me saying that is not a compromise, its based solely on biology, math, and a measurement. Repeatedly run through he scientific method. Its what some atheist/theist can't handle. Most can, but this site has a higher concentration of scarred atheist/theist so we are debating triggered people.

I have no idea why some seemly rational atheist jump on board with the militant. I guess its the same reason theist jump on board with fundamentals. The god claim is more important for some reason other than evaluating how the universe works.

Most of the posts are about how to hold a discussion, posts about other members, posts about Direct Messages, and posts about debate rules.

This is a discussion forum. It is a small, incidental part of City-Data. It is not the primary focus of the company. In the forums, any member is allowed to post, as long as they adhere to the rules. We don't have one-on-one discussions, and don't limit who can post. People have tried to limit who posts by asking, for example, only for comments from Christians. It never works.

Now, we have this thread about Comparing Atheism and Christianity. If you want to discuss this topic, feel free to post. If you want to continue posting the things I mentioned in the second paragraph, this thread won't reach 5000 posts before it is closed.
