The unnecessary debate between theists and atheists

שו"תThe unnecessary debate between theists and atheists
שאל לפני 2 שנים

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…

A strange claim. If believers only report experiences, then there is no debate at all, and not only is there no point in having one. If I tell you that I love so-and-so and you don't love him or think it's wrong to love him, are we having a debate? I love him. It's a mental fact. A debate only exists when you make a claim about reality. Therefore, if the believer sees his personal experiences as an indicator that God really exists, then claims that show that he is wrong are relevant claims that he should address. If he sees these as just his subjective experiences – there is no debate at all. In fact, such a believer is also an atheist, but with experiences. And in general, your assumption that every believer is based on inner experiences is probably your own inner experience. For me, it's based on arguments and reasoning. And in my opinion, anyone who thinks there is no God is wrong. And there's definitely a point in having a debate about it.
