Atheism can not account for moral truth
To start, I want to make sure that everyone understands what I mean by the term "worldview." Everyone has one whether you are aware of it or not. A worldview is the overall perspective on which one sees and interprets the world. An example of a worldview in action would be as follows... Science has proven that monkeys are very similar to humans based on there genetic make-up. Now, to an atheist, this evidence would convey the notion that humans and monkeys have a common ancestor. However, to a...
Homosexuality is a Sin
Homosexuality is a sin whether one believes in the Bible or not. Romans 1: 24-28 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the...
Atheism can not account for right and wrong
Thank you Tarzan for accepting the challenge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Statement (1) To begin with God is needed in order for morals to be constant and meaningful. First of all God is needed for morals to be constant because without God's rule the morals placed in our society are arbitrary and could very well change from day to day. For instance, in conventionalism which is the view that fundamental principles a...
Homosexuality and Gay Marriage are Morally Wrong
The proposition on offer is that Homosexuality and Gay Marriage are not Morally Wrong. My opponent (should he choose to accept) has posted some interesting "information" on this issue. Let's examine some of his points: >> "Statistics show that homosexuals remain faithful to one another only 25% of the time, on the other hand, heterosexual couples remain faithful to one another 80% of the time." What statistics? He provides no source for this very suspicious number.... Furthermore, the...
Homosexuality Should Not be Permitted
Thank you, to my opponent for accepting my challenge. To begin with, statistics show that homosexuals remain faithful to one another only 25% of the time, on the other hand, heterosexual couples remain faithful to one another 80% of the time. Professionals say that the reason for only 25% of homosexuals remaining faithful to their partners is because homosexual relationships are 'unnatural,' this is not how humans were designed to live and function. Also according to, http://www.bfamilyadvoc...
A Strictly Atheistic World View Can Not Account For Morality.
Thank you, to whoever accepts this challenge, I look forward to this debate. Now, to start off, I will go over some definitions. Morality: [conformity to the rules of right conduct] Evil: [morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked] Right: [in accordance with what is good, proper, or just] Atheist: [a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.] Theist: [the belief in one God (in this debate I am referring to the Christian God) as the creator and ruler of th...
Re: Is using crop Bio fuels morally wrong?
Con (Crop Bio fuel is using edible plants such as corn to make corn ethanol or in other words, fuel. Any other questions on crop bio fuel, comment.) Morally wrong = Unethnical I must say I am strongly against crop bio fuels! My first argument is global starvation. You have an ethical obligation to reject Pro! Using food for fuel when people are dying of starvation is unethical. The world's cropland resources seem totally inadequate to the vast size of the alternative energy challenge....
