There Are Good Secular Reasons to Disallow Same-Sex Marriage
~
The state regulates marriage for a reason. It dispenses benefits for a reason. Understanding what this reason is will tell us what criteria are and are not relevant to marriage, and thus whether any rights are being denied. If the state excludes same-sex couples from entering into legal marriages on the basis of criteria relevant to the public purpose of marri...

RESOLVED: Gay marriage should be legal in all of the U.S.
Gay marriage seems to take up a lot of debate nowadays, and I wanted to get my opinion out in the open. Before I begin a road map of what I will review in my debate, I would like to state that I am heterosexual. To make this debate as clear as possible, I would like to offer the following definitions. Homosexual (or Gay): Sexually attracted to people of one's own sex. Legal: Of, based on, or concerned with the law: "the American legal system" All: Used to refer to the whole quantity or...
Can Intelligence exist before matter?
I would like to articulate a point rarely touched upon when discussing the existence God and if it's logical or not. Can intelligence exist before matter? If there was a person born who couldn't feel, smell, taste, hear or see they would have nothing to think about, I mean what could that person think about? They've experienced nothing. They have had no experience involving matter. Now imagine an intelligence with senses working, but no matter, what would that intelligence have to thi...

It is probable god exists
My opponent must show that it is probable that their is a god. It is his burden of proof as he is making a positive claim. All I have to do as con is show that his evidence is false. The Pro will not respond in the last round. Any shifting the burden of proof fallacies by pro and he will forfeit the debate. All seven points will go to con....

Objective Morality is not God's Work
This is a topic that never ceases to thrill me and I would love to share it with someone with an equally interested mind. I'm sure you've been through the run of the mill with the subjective v. objective debate and so this should offer a new look at things. My argument: Objective morality exists as our means of determining that which is best for our survival. God: an undefinable entity. Morality: a sense of duty in distinguishing between good actions and bad actions, where a good action...
