Dragon Ball Z is the best anime show ever created.
I will let my opponent begin the argument. Rules: Use proper grammar. You're only allowed to pick one show or series. If statistics are used, provide links....
Resolved: I Exist
The Bible supports the pro-life cause.
I would like to debate the proposition that the Bible supports the pro-life position. I've seen this topic come up quite a bit in the forums, so I'd like to officially debate it here. Ordinarily I would assume burden of proof, but for the purposes of this debate, burden of proof will be shared. Round one is for acceptance. Round two for opening arguments/rebuttals. Round three for rebuttals. Round four for rebuttals/closing statements (no new arguments). And for anyone wishing to vot...
No God = No Concept of God = No Believers in God
If there is no God, there would be no concept of God, and if there were no concept of God, then no one would have any idea, awarness, or desire for this being, and therefore-- there should be no believers.
==Definitions==
God - the single deity in monotheism or the monist deity in polytheism. God is often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of humans and the universe. &nbs...
The USA should ban guns
Guns - firearms Banned - prohibited for legal ownership or use. Should - Ought Pro says we should ban guns, con says we shouldn't. This was partially inspired from me hearing we need to restrict gubs because of the Aurora shooting. Rules: Round 1 acceptance Cite things that you quoted, aka no plagiarism. No semantics with resolution or definitions *** Good luck!...
Funny Video Debate
This will be my first debate. Instead of picking a serious topic, I decided to do something fun - arguments will consist of one funny video off of YouTube. Voters assign points to whichever debater provided funnier videos overall. First round acceptance. In the fourth round, you will be allowed to include two videos. Good Luck!...
There is no evidence supporting the existence of the biblical god.
I propose that there is no evidence supporting god's existence. Belief relies on blind faith alone. I also propose that any and all evidence we do have about the universe either remains neutral towards a god being involved or else goes against an intelligent designer having a hand in its creation. I am new to this site so this debate is mainly so I can get used to the format here. The rules will be just to follow standard debate protocol and remain respectful. If you want to argue from a poin...
The Problem of Evil
-
Clarification: This is the logical problem of evil (LPoE), not the evidential version (EPoE). An omnipotent god could effortlessly prevent all evil. An omniscient god would know how to effortlessly prevent all evil. A benevolent god would want as little evil as possible. And omnibenevolent...
Dueling should be legalized
This debate was inspired by this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuBnlNjZq24 A duel is a scheduled, consensual, and organized fight between 2 or more individuals, to the death or otherwise. Many states in the United States have prohibited the practice, and it is that that I will argue against. There is no need for a duel to have specific steps taken in order to be legitimate, although most duels would follow the old method in which the challenged had the choice of weapons and second...
The argument from evil (AE) is sound
God - By God, I mean an omnipotent, omniscient, wholly good, personal being who created the universe, and is (to a greater or lesser extent) active within the universe.
Evil - Anything which in and of itself, rational creatures would universally seek to avoid, ceteris paribus. Examples of such things include suffering, pain, disability and death.
The argument will try to show that...
