The traditional Christian/Muslim/Jewish view of God is inconsistent.
First and foremost, the intent of this debate is not to offend anyone, but more for personal clarification regarding the traditional Christian/Muslim/Jewish view of God. As an agnostic theist, it seems to me that these traditional views are largely inconsistent for the following reason. As I understand it, the traditional view of God by Christians, Muslims, and Jews is that God is A)omni benevolent (infinitely/perfectly good), B) omnipotent (all powerful), and C) capable of seeing all of time...
Resolved: Abortion ought to be illegal under normal circumstances.
1. Abortion ought to be illegal The abortion of a fetus is not the innocent action some make it out to be, it is a terrible crime against a child that is not able to defend itself or have a say in its future. When a women becomes pregnet, she has an obligation to care for her baby until it is born and then either give it up for adoption or care for it like she should(in some cases adoption is nessecary, but we won't go into that). 2. A human is made at the moment of conception The second...
In the United States, prostitution should be legal.
In the United States Prostitution should be legal. There are three main reasons I have for making this claim: 1) Our government should not be allowed to dictate a persons motivations for engaging in intercourse. 2) People in American society should have the right to do anything they wish to do, so long as no other person is harmed. Excepting harms caused solely by the existence of the laws prohibiting prostitution, no person is being harmed by the practice of prostitution. 3) Laws rega...
Does God exist? The proposition is that there is a Christian God who is omnipotent and all-loving.
Clearly the onus is on the person arguing the affirmative - God's existence - to present the evidence. However, I will present one argument against God's existence, then rebut several typical arguments for the existence of God. Argument against God: Atheism has the best explanation for God's hidden nature. The evidence for God is slim, the evidence for Christianity is slimmer still. Even if you claim, as I'm sure you do, that there is strong evidence for God then my question is this: Why is...

No US citizen has the right to bear arms.
While I realise this is a controversial topic, I'll do my best to get through it as convincingly as possible. First off we'll go through some definitions; US Citizen- "A person born in the United States, or naturalized, holding a US passport." Please note this does not mean people who aren't US citizens DO have the right to bear arms, it is wrong in all cases. Now onto my argument. 1) The USA constitution does not grant this right. A common misconception about the US constitution...
Islamophobia is the new anti-Semitism in Europe and the US.
I would like to invite my fellow debaters to read the following news item: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7488790.stm …and then read the public reaction to the story… http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?sortBy=2&forumID=5061&edition=1&ttl=20080704102159&#paginator There has been a Jewish community in England for almost a thousand years and they have had their own religious courts, the Beth Din, since 1706. http://www.theus.org.uk/the_united_synagogue/the_london_beth_din/abo...
Does God exist?
In the beginning there was nothing, suddenly a big bang accored, from nowhere and started life, over billions of years we crawed from the waters and became human, clere and intelagen, we look back at the accident which accored. And did it actually happened or was there God which made us with pure purpose and meaning with every man and woman worthy or life with out sin. 1 fact before you begin, for the big bang to happen, the chances would be 10 to the power of 40,000, that would be like find...
Country landowners should have the right to enjoy their own private property as they see fit.
My family own a number of extensive rural properties, three in Europe and another in one of Britain's former North American colonies – the United States, where the natives rather quaintly refer to country estates as "ranches".* Over in America, country landowners are quite entitled to use firearms to defend their property from trespassers and, furthermore, they are also permitted to exercise their right to hunt vermin such as raccoons, cougars and manatees using guns, traps or horses and hou...
