Christianity is an Attack on Jesus Christ
That's right, Christianity is the worst thing possible that could have happened to Jesus, not least because it is an immense slanderous and libelous campaign against the historical Jesus. Allow me to present my case: *Disclaimer: No semantic or tangential arguments. Must be a Christian to accept. ======= Definitions ======= Christianity: the Christian religion, including the Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox churches. [1] Historical Jesus: the Jesus of history whose inform...
Philosophy: Determinism Accurately Describes Reality
In this debate, my opponent is taking the hard determinist stance that everything in the whole of existence is predetermined. My duty is to demonstrate that some things are not determined, and I will also present a case for free will. Definitions: Determinism - The philosophical doctrine that every state of affairs, including every human event, act, and decision is the inevitable consequence of antecedent states of affairs. [1] Free Will - The philosophical doctrine that the conduct of...
The Following Quotes Effectively Refute Christianity
To start this debate, I will provide quotes that I think, effectively refute Christianity from a philosophical standpoint, and expose it to be morally unsound. My opponent (must be a Christian to accept) is tasked to completely vindicate Christianity, philosophically and morally. (*Try to avoid semantics please.) ======= - Quotes - ======= "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control...
Conspiracy I: The Philadelphia Experiments
The proposition on offer is that the events known as the Philadelphia experiments included the disappearance, insanity, time travel, and/or teleporting of the USS Eldridge. ****************************************** Synopsis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_experiment#Synopsis) "Supposedly a destroyer escort, the USS Eldridge, was fitted with the required equipment at the naval yards in Philadelphia. Testing began in the summer of 1943, and was successful to a limited degree. On...
Intelligent Design Does Not Support Christianity
I assert that intelligent design does not support Christianity. The intelligent designer is definitely not the God of the Bible by any means. Intelligent Design instead supports deism and pantheism only (and other variations of these). Why Intelligent Design does not support Christianity: - Intelligent Design by definition is the idea that certain features of the Universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause. [1] This does not justify the Christians tendency...
The Law of Parsimony Supports the Existence of Intelligent Extraterrestrials
I assert that the Law of Parsimony supports the existence of extraterrestrial life. (For those who are unfamiliar with the term, parsimony, scientifically speaking, is the preference for the least complex explanation for an observation. Also the most probable.) Here's why: - Crop Circles. It is highly unlikely that pranksters are behind every crop circle. It would actually be nearly impossible for even one of them (the elaborate ones) to be a prank. Many crop circles are so incredibly com...
David Icke's view that the world is ruled by a secret group called "Illuminati" is false
I welcome GeoLaureate8 to this debate, and him in general to this website. I hope this turns out to be quite enjoying given it's unique nature ;) Unless I am mistaken, most members of Debate.org are new to these ideas that Geo has recently espoused upon entering this site. In general, his ideas align with David Icke's - an infamous British writer and public speaker who has developed this type of "New Age Conspiracism"[1]. To summarize it briefly, he basically believes that there is a secret g...
Religion, Atheism, and Science are Dead Wrong About Reality
(Strap yourself in because this one's gonna be tough.) Religion, atheism, and official science are all fronts for the true essence of reality. (You may dismiss some info at first, but keep reading, and it will be understood) They have been established for purposes of divide and rule and to suppress the truth from the people by ruling elites and secret societies since the epoch of civilization. The architects of control such as the most powerful cult, the Illuminati (dates back to the anci...
