God is/was Either Imperfect or Not Omnipotent
The proposition on offer is that God is either imperfect or not omnipotent. The proof for this follows fairly easily: If God is perfect, then any change in him would be a change for the worse - it is impossible for a perfect being to change for the better. Furthermore, if God is to remain perfect, then he cannot change, as any change would necessarily be for the worse. An omnipotent being would always be capable of change. The difference in God's character between the Old and New Testament...

Power transcends good and evil.
I would like to argue from the position that there is a Christian god. We follow his various mandates and guidelines in order to achieve happiness and avoid suffering. We have organized religions who's precepts we follow. But after we die we no longer have these rules. On a divine level the rules become what God wants them to be. Good and evil have no say in a scope with omnipotence. So when Lucifer rebelled he was more political exile than enemy of good. The ideas imprinted into our conscious c...
con will break a rule
We will play a game where we get to set 5 rules per each round that both players have to follow the round the rules are posted. I go first 1) Both sides must put "Please vote pro" 2) Both sides must summarize how this debate is going 3) Both sides must break a rule 4) Both sides must put rules that don't violate previous rules 5) Both sides must type something random that is apart from the summary Summary: Basically I have set con up for faliure, so I will automatically win this debat...
Absent Religious Moral Framework, (The Proposition On Offer)
The proposition on offer is that absent a religious moral framework, there is nothing morally outrageous about adoptive siblings engaging in recreational sex or even marriage. Definitions and Caveats: Morally Outrageous - That which offends a major tenant of popular (nonreligious) morality. Adoptive Siblings - Those individuals raised together in the same family as legal siblings though not related by blood. Recreational Sex - Copulation not for the end of procreation. For purpose...
One should be an Atheist Rather Than an Agnostic.
I affirm the resolution: atheism is the more logical and supported position than agnosticism. If one had to either be an agnostic or an atheist, than given the current evidence and amount of scientific and philosophical progress, one should choose atheism. [Definition - Atheism] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheism 2 a: a disbelief in the existence of deity [Definition - Agnostic] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agnostic 1: a person who holds the view that an...
Gay Marriage Should Be Legal in the United States
This debate was issued to InquireTruth... twice. He let it expire both times. Now I open it up to the public to defend his position because he apparently will not do so. *************************************************** The proposition on offer is that Gay Marriage should be legal in the United States. For the purposes of debate, "Gay Marriage" will be held to mean marriage between two individuals of the same sex. This definition arises from two segments of relevant law common to most...
GodSands has Improperly Characterized Satanism
The proposition on offer is that Godsands has improperly characterized Satanism, thus sparking a slew of controversy and misinformation. The following is how he characterizes Satanism: ************************************** There is a satanic church which has many different sermonises. There are 3 main ones: Sex orgy Destruction Black magic practice. They think they know evolution is real and that we came from a swamp! They said it like this, "We are from a swamp of soot, and that...
The Party System should be Abolished
Democracy is plagued by it's party system which divides society and creates deep-seated social and cultural beliefs that work to divide society instead of bringing it together and have lead in the past to civil violence and even civil war, especially in the case where different ethnic or religious groups are involved. Political parties also create a focusing of political and philosophical ideologies that allow only certain beliefs (one's the correspond to the pillars of the party; party adherenc...
There is No Biblical Support for Young Earth Creationism
The proposition on offer is that there is no Biblical Support for Young Earth Creationism (YEC). This means that there are no verses YEC supporters can use to justify the date of the creation of the earth. For the purposes of debate, the approximate creation date range will be between 6000-10000 years ago. Multiple accounts give the creation date as circa 4000 BCE: "In 1650, Archbishop Ussher published the Ussher chronology, a chronology dating the creation to the night preceding October 23 4...
