A theist relies on faith- they have faith that god is real. It is not supported by fact.
An atheist relies on skepticism- Because they cannot prove the existence of god, god must not be real.
Why are both wrong? Because neither can know whether they are correct, and yet they both purport to be.
THANK YOU! I was hoping for more biased, one sided replies, but you've hit the dot. This thread was thrown into the giant stew of the debate forum to see how many people would throw in their own biased opinions of theism and atheism.
I didn't really expect anyone to say that both have highly speculative ( I want to say illogical, but that might be too much) ideas of the existence of a higher power, but I guess I have underestimated the few that truly have somewhat of a grasp on the bigger picture of things.
