Life is meaningless without God.
My stance is that life is not meaningless without God. Meaning can be found in life even if some deity does not exist. I will expand further in the next rounds as to how, but I wish to give a definition of God first. Any deity can be used in this argument if it follows these basic tenets: 1.

The god is some being (or beings - having multiple deities for this argument is perfectly...

Let the contentions be raised!...

The NFL should not allow a team to be called the Redskins
I won't pretend to be a sports guy. I enjoy watching and playing sports, but I'd sooner turn on CNN. However, there is one issue that I feel can't be ignored. That is the issue of team names. And, a little disclaimer, I am a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, but that will not change my argument for the worse. I'm going to start out with some background in my area of more expertise, then I will come back to how that is relevant today. Andrew Johnson succeeded President Lincoln after he was tragicall...
