Note: This is my second attempt to have this debate. The person who accepted the debate before had no intentions of debating the issue at all. Please do not bother to accept if you do not understand the premise and agree to debate based on this premise: This debate is not about the existence of a higher being or what religion is true. It is only a debate on whether or not the Bible is the word of God. I contend that it is not so I am pro for it "not being the word of God" and I am going to f...

YellowPandaBear

I will begin by offering 3 main premises for my argument. 1. Most essential services that all human beings are entitled to as members of society should be socialized.

Essential services include healthcare, education, food/housing for the poor, roads, public transit, etc. I am now ready to hear from my opponent. 2. Other services (As in, cell phones...
