Do you think most people spend their time arguing about things that can not be proven/disproven because they don't want to address real issues?

Often the real issues are caused by the things that appear to be not able to be "proven/disproven".
It is a pointless exercise at times but often as not, one side is just grossly unaware of the facts.

Wow a deep one,yes and no hehehehe We argue to prove our point but the point is mute as we argue with people who do not waver or weaken easily due to the indoctrination they receive as children or when a sad time has ventured into their lifes,thus the arguments continue based on peoples annoyance at such mindnumbing and pointless man made faiths being spouted by people who for some reason always want to gather more into their fold,like some hive who only have a single mindset,personally I prefer to think for myself and rely on what my senses tell me are real....

No I think on this thread the Christians are trying to tell non believers there is a God. And to help them see the truth.
Most, not all, unbelievers are here to make fun of Christians and harass.
You appear to be here to show how smart you are by suggesting there are other "real issues".

Perhaps it is the real world application of action stemming from our beliefs in things that can't be proven/disproven that sparks the discussion?

I disagree.

I actually think there is allot of merit to that theory. Think about the millions of documents and time and thought that has been put into arguing for baptism via immersion vs baptism via sprinkling.
If we could have 1/2 of that effort back and direct it towards science and the future who knows what we could have solved by now.
There are millions of brilliant minds preoccupied with trying to establish reason for doctrine, instead of creating a better world for the next generation of humans.
The results of doctrinal arguments are clear to see, thousands of denominations, all claiming the truth but all still in disagreement. Clearly thinking and arguing about religious doctrine isn't productive.
Arguing and thinking about scientific endeavors is very productive and has made life incredibly better for mankind.
I wish people could wake up and see this.

No I think people are trying to find an answer. Everyone hates a neutral opinion! Black or white is the way humans role!!!!

Well, yeah... it's called Rhetoric. Rhetoric allows thought to spew out unsanctioned and that is good sometimes. Like the concept of brainstorming, it allows things to be said, that can turn into policy that can turn into something that can really end up helping someone.

I believe issues involving theology and lifes' experiences surrounding it are very "real" issues that although people sometimes don't want to address, they inevitably do.

Yes. That's why they're insane and out of touch with reality.
