The Purpose of the US Constitution is to Legislate Morality
I have made this debate impossible to accept. If you are interested, just leave a comment or PM me, thank you.
I am curious to see how anyone can argue that the purpose of any law is not to legislate morality.

God is a logical impossibility
This is designed to be a quick and straightforward debate.
God: The divine author of all things; the creator of the universe and the laws thereof. An omniscient, and omnipotent being.
At no point can this definition be questioned or altered by either side in the course of this debate.
5000 character limit, Round 1 is for acceptance.

Our greatest taboo should be permitted for investigation and debate
This debate will be about whether or not there is significant justification for free speech and inquiry pertaining to a particular historical event. Of the various taboos present in Western and European society, discussion of the Holocaust is often regarded as the most significant. It being part of the curriculum for nearly every school in America and abroad, it is no wonder why this event has such a major impact on us, particularly when we hear details of the oppression that occurred during...

Libertarians should support Romney
This debate is whether libertarians should support Mitt Romney in the upcoming U.S. presidential election rather than support a third party candidate such as Gary Johnson. Supporting President Obama is ruled out for this debate.
The right of third party candidates to run for office and of voters to vote for them is not questioned. The debate presumes that libertarians want to have libertarian views, as generally espoused by Ron Paul or Gary Johnson (per

The modal ontological argument is not sound
This is for Phantom's 99th Percentile tournament. The debate will focus on whether or not the modal ontological argument is sound. I as Pro to the resolution will argue that it is not while my opponent as Con will argue that it is. The relevant terms are defined as follows:
Modal ontological argument-
(P1) It is possible that that God exists.
(P2) God is not a contingent being, i.e., either it is not possible that God exists, or it is necessary that God exi...

Compatabilism is a flawed philosophical doctrine.
Many thanks in advance to whomever accepts this debate.
I originally sent this challenge to Reasoning; however, like most people on this site, he declined my direct challenge. I don't see why considering not only is he a vehement Compatibilist, but so are some of the most brilliant philosophers in the world today. There is plenty of pro-Compatibilist information for my future opponent to steal from the internet, I can assure you. In fact it is the most popular position, so I will...
