 Is beleiving in what you don't see, and not belieiving in what you don't see REALLY equal leaps of faith?

Yes.

One side is saying "I'm certain there is nothing after this, but I can't prove it. 

The other side is saying "I am certain there is something after this, but I can't prove it"

Boost - just so I'm absolutely clear on this -  I'm not going to get into a long discussion about this because it's pointless.  Your question is a textbook example of what I was mentioning earlier. 

Arrogance - however subtle - on either side - is what keeps me from bothering to ever discuss beliefs. Both sides are replete with people who want to come across as being open to understanding, respecting, and discussing the other side's views - while making sure they still get in their points that prove they are the ones who are correct.

I don't do that - neither the drawn out discussions, nor the smugness. We all get the answer eventually - whatever it is.
