... which is why it's so hard for atheists to debate with them in a rational way:

Has anyone heard of it before?

Personally, I'd rather not get myself involved in any debate between these 2 groups of people because their fundamental principles/beliefs are diametrically opposed to each other...

So it seems like a waste of time, since the conclusion can already be predicted:

1. At best, both sides will still politely disagree with each other.
2. At worst, both sides will become very angry with each other, thus affecting their psychological health without any material profit.

I think it's better for people to simply be nice to one another and help one another if they are able to.

That's what I try to do whenever someone asks me for help and if I happen to be able to help.
And sometimes, if I take the initiative to offer my help to someone, but if he/she doesn't want me to help him/her, I just say sorry and move on with my life.
