Jesus was gay and John the Evangelist was his boyfriend.
For the sake of argument, let's suppose that the New Testament is an accurate historical document and that Jesus actually existed. Now, let's examine the facts: 1 - Jesus never got married.

This belief is completely false. My evidence backing this up is on the website itself. Every day, there are people adding the new information to Wikipedia. There are new discoveries every day, and Wikipedia always has the updates within hours of discovery. The information is posted on the front page of Wikiped...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a worthwhile project.
Today, the LHC, which is located 100m underground on the French / Swiss border was fired up for the first time. For those who may be unfamiliar with the project, please be refer to the links (1; 2; 3) which can be found at the foot of this page.

Many uninsured can afford health insurance but refuse to make it a priority.
Ask a liberal why health insurance ought to be provided by the government, and they will tell you it is a necessity, and one that too many people cannot afford. I too agree that health insurance is a necessity. But if you look at how the uninsured spend their money you will see their spending habits hardly mirror their supposed convictions. I've never been uninsured, even as a dirt poor college student. Instead I sacrificed elsewhere to make my monthly health insurance payment. I realize the...

Resolved: In a democratic society, felons ought to retain the right to vote.
I realize that you are to be debating Cooperman88. But if you look on facebook, you will see that Cooperman88 is in fact Jacob Cooper. I am one and the same. So I will debate you on "In a democratic society, felons ought to retain the right to vote. Abraham Lincoln once defined America's democracy as a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people." The context of this quote refers to american citizens. My value for this round will be equality, and my criterion will be demo...
