The unnecessary debate between theists and atheists
Hello Rabbi Michi
Do you think the atheist-theist debate is pointless? Theists speak from a sense of community and religious experiences. Atheists speak with test tubes in hand and an open Excel spreadsheet to record the findings, and as far as I know, it is impossible to measure personal experiences within the scientific tools…

I don't know who a methodological atheist is and what those tools are (the same as what?). But yes, I think there are good arguments that prove its existence.
The methodological atheist's tools are scientific experiments (Excel spreadsheets, test tubes, etc.). How can one measure God like that, for example?
impossible.
He means that rational arguments can be used to prove the existence of God. Of course, they are not comparable to a laboratory test, but they are good enough to have an argument with because these are not claims based on emotion, but on reason. I hope I made the point clear.
Punk. I didn't understand what experiments, tables, and test tubes are related to. Can you measure ”Godlessness” with them?
Y.W. What does this have to do with it?
I said that this is how a methodological atheist examines a claim about reality.
So arguing with an atheist is unnecessary in the first place.
The atheist does not measure the lack of God in table and test tube experiments because God is usually defined in a way that is not amenable to empirical study.
Both theist and atheist can discuss metaphysical questions methodologically as long as they are consistent
