But it is. How does an atheist answer all the “why” questions? Even if it’s by saying “There is no answer,” that constitutes a belief system.

Nihilism imposes its own order on disorder. It’s the fatal flaw in Post-modernism.

I don't think you understand what a "belief system" is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "atheists have no belief systems" because some of them do. They aren't the same, of course. Some of them are philosophically based, some of them are scientifically based... I'm just saying atheism in and of itself is not a belief system. It's the lack of a belief in a god or gods, and that's all it is.

So this very notion that there is one particular way to debate an atheist is incorrect. First you have to figure out what belief system they have, if any. Personally, I don't have one. I'm not a nihilist. I'm not a scientist. I'm not particularly philosophical. I don't "believe" anything. I have some ideas, but I don't know if they are the truth, and I don't think that mankind has, at the moment, the wherewithal to learn the truth. Therefore I don't concern myself much with it.
