neither 'side' may prove their 'case'...cannot prove existence of or non-existence of. that's the principle behind a faith-based acceptance of god(s). so, for the most part, these arguments are simply an exercise in futility, except in those cases where one is swayed to another's viewpoint. that seems to be the only reason to argue this subject. i like lisa's statement about acceptance without judgment, reserving the right to host others of a different persuasion until they begin to insist with their attempts to impose their views upon us. at some point, we have to agree to disagree and leave it at the the door.
