God is Incapable of Dictating Morality
Actually, I'm going to make a much stronger assertion: God is incapable of justifiably dictating what is moral and what has meaning, value, and purpose for humans, outside of appealing to a human interpretation of morality, meaning, value, and purpose. Def 1. I'm just going to use "God" to mean god, goddess, goddesses, gods, or some combination thereof. It could correspond to any religion where that God commands that something is moral or has meaning, value, or purpose. God here could b...
American Tai Qwon Do is not good for self defense
Through my years of martial art experience I, and my colleagues, undeniably agree that American Tia Qwon Do is more for sport and games than for real self defense. Its better than nothing but that doesnt make it good. I will let my opponent go first......
An Afterlife is Impossible
Afterlife: A life or existence believed to follow death. I will be arguing that it is physically impossible for humans or animals to experience a spiritual afterlife, as the brain is incapable of being conscious of anything after the brain ceases to function.

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...
Our Country is overpopulated.
I agree that Our country now is overpopulated due to the lack of needs that is very rampant in urban areas. I am referring to America. =============== If we will have a survey of our country, many people is facing poverty because they can't afford those things that are necessary to their lives. Ex. of these are the foods which is very valuable. Because of the impact of the crisis hitting in our country, people who cannot afford were very pathetic begging in the streets to ask some food or mone...
I am God
I challenge Alex Hanson to a debate. I challenge him to try to prove that I am not God (the creator of the universe and everything in it) in a human form. If he is able to prove I am not god, he wins. Simple as that....
