"The tiresome and never-ending debate between atheists and theists comes about because of the failure of each side to speak theologically. "
No, it comes about because of the failure of theists to explain what they mean and justify their assertions in plain language. If that's not 'speaking theologically', then so much the worse for theology. No other discipline seems to have the same difficulty.
But the debate WILL end, of course -- in fact in the West it is already trending rapidly towards the inevitable end, as people who choose to believe nonsense realise that they will always be challenged when they put forward their beliefs in public.
