Illuminati Existance Debate
Okay, so I have absolutely no experience in the art of "debate", and I'm not even sure if this is qualified as a debatable topic. But hearing about the Illuminati has really been bothering me for the past month. I'm sorta of using this as a way of venting. So, I guess you can call this a "practice debate" if you will. Con is for the Illuminati not existing, and Pro is for the Illuminati existing. Uh, I'll let my opponent start with the first argument....
DDO Advanced Rap Battle
Traditional style text rap battle. My opponent can set it off in the first round. There will be two battle rounds, two raps for each opponent. The final half of the third round will be blank....

By Scripture, Christianity is More Violent Than Buddhism
====> I N T R O D U C T I O N <==== This debate is instigated in response to Zetsubou's claims that Buddhism is more violent than Christianity. He even went so far as to say that Buddhist scripture itself is more violent than Christian scripture and proposed a debate. Therefore, my opponent must demonstrate that Buddhist scripture is in fact more violent than Christianity. I will even go so far as to assert that my opponent cannot find, not even one single violent passage in Buddhist scri...
Weak Atheism is Philosophically Superior to Strong Atheism
I would like to thank Geo for agreeing to debate this topic with me. I ask only that you-tube videos not be considered a form of argument or rebuttal. I don't have the patience :P I will define the two terms and await Geo's acceptance. The debate proper should begin in round two. Weak Atheism: Lack of belief in god. Generally this position entails agnosticism as to whether there could be *some* god, but also an explicit rejection of most conceptions of him in conjunction with extreme doub...
Buddhism as Taught by the Buddha
I would like to defend Sam Harris' statement that "the Buddhist tradition, taken as a whole, represents the richest source of contemplative wisdom that any civilization has produced." (http://www.shambhalasun.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=2903Itemid=247) I will start off by simply explaining the Buddhist philosophy and then my opponent can offer refutations and following suit, I will respond to her contentions. :::The Core of Buddhist Teachings::: The source of Buddhist teac...
<< Determinism >>
Premise 1: The rules of the universe are set in place (Be it physics or religion -- the rules don't change -- they just are.) Everybody, mind included, operates by these preset rules. Premise 2: Given that the rules are set in place, everything that falls under these preset rules (everything) is determined by said rules. Like a Rube Goldberg machine -- as long as you have set items (matter) that fall under the same rules (physics, religion... you name it) then there is only one possible o...
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...
Feverish VRB Tourney Round 2: Geo vs. snelld
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR7j2UJVJOY Here's my verse for Round 2 against snelld and good luck to my opponent. Note: This is a 2 round rap battle with an extra round for my opponent to post lyrics or for either of us to buy more time, just to make sure that each person gets their two turns in case something comes up. (I recorded this verse using my Droid Eris, so the quality isn't spectacular, but fairly decent. Pauses are intentional.) Lyrics: Yo, it's the Holofractalist ba...
As the Bible describes God, He is inconsistent in His nature
Quite simply, although certain recorded actions of God in the Bible may appear to the untrained eye to be contradictory, an understanding of God's nature and attributes will show that God has done nothing contradictory that one can find in the Bible. My opponent need not agree with a single word in the Bible or that God exists, but we will not be debating such issues. As the written Bible exists today, I expect my opponent to cite examples of God being contradictory, and I will explain the al...
