does the idea that god knows everything was/is/will be compromise free will
I have taken many classes on philosophy (specifically ancient Greek) and theology. The most recent of the two classes were "great ideas of ancient and western thought" and "understandings of love (as all major cultures/religions understand it)" I had a very unique professor who taught in both classes (both classes were taught by two professors teaching the class in tandem). The professor was an Ex-minister who is now agnostic (not atheist) who taught the class from a unbiased point of view. He p...
Why god exists
I would wish to i suppose retry my first attempt which was just a mere test of this website, as it is my first time using it. As i can see I am dealing with quite a few atheists, I do wish to debate but also better my knowledge of the subject. OK lets get started. 1. For your first argument you said that there was a lack of evidence for a god, which is precisely what I said you did not disprove god, you did not give an argument of why a god can't exist. Anyway I will give you an argument....
Birth vs Acquired Disabilities
Which is worse - to be disabled at birth or at some other time in life? 1 Disabled (or disability) is a functional limitation of the body or mind. 2. Quality of life is the type of medical/mental health and social conditions across a person's life-span The pro of this debate (me) contends a birth injury is worse to deal with than being disabled later in life. Let me start with some general facts or observations , which I think most people would agree on: Frequently babies who are bo...

Lyrical Challenge III
Many thanks in advance to my opponent for accepting our third lyrical challenge! As per usual, the rules are the same -- My opponent will accept this debate, and post a topic for me to rap about in my next round. I will present a rap pertaining to the theme my opponent assigned, and include in the next round a topic for him to rap about as well. This will continue until each of us has done 3 raps a piece. In the final round, I will present a short analysis and/or comparison of our raps, esse...
Resolved: World Peace and Harmony will never be reality.
Greetings to my opponent and good luck, The resolution is that the World will not ever realize total peace and indubitably not harmony until the "Great Millennium" described in the Bible. My opponent will assume the burden of the proof, since currently the world does not realize world peace. 1. The Bible prophesies very clearly that World Peace will not become reality until the second "Return of Jesus". 2. Every major power has fought eachother throughout history, and the past hundred y...
Homosexuality is immoral
JimProfit has been trolling the forums lately with his anti-gay spiel. Whenever called out on it, he has been unable to coherently explain *why* he thinks homosexuality is immoral. This has led many to speculate that his feelings are owing to personal issues with denial and self-loathing. Here I've provided him with a platform to explain his views to the DDO community and to dispel such rumors. Because Pro has an onerous burden of proof to uphold, I'll give him a head start to lay out his cas...
Detention in School Actually Serves a Higher Purpose
I am arguing that detention in school does not serve any form of higher purpose in an educational setting. Since I will be Con (It doesn't serve a higher purpose) I will allow my opponent to make the first argument and include definitions. Thank You in advance to the opponent who accepts my topic....
The deregulated "free" market is unsustainable
Free Market - Business governed by the laws of supply and demand, not restrained by government interference, regulation or subsidy. Externality - Activities and conditions whose benefits (called external economies) and costs (called external dis-economies) are not reflected in the market price of goods and services. The primary feature of an externality is that one entity's action directly or indirectly changes the options available to other entities. Regulation - Principle or rule (with o...
The Doctrine of Biblical Inerrancy is probably false.
Definition of Biblical Inerrancy: Biblical inerrancy is the doctrinal position that the Bible is considered accurate and totally free of error (from Wikipedia). The doctrine of inerrancy is a dangerously unsound one, stemming from the misapplication of western literary standards. The position that the Bible, beyond its irreproachable orthography, contains absolutely no factual errors has its articulated origin in 19th century Princeton Theology. This, of course, does not prove that the doctri...
