The subject of morality is subjective to society
I would Like to challenge you to a debate, on an idea which I find most indefinitely profound. In debates, arguments, or attempts at provng points, I have found that most people like to bring up the concept of morality to back up the argument they are proposing.
This debate will be directed toward the issue of whether or not we can accurately say that something is moral, or whether morality is deemed by an individual or society.
So I would like to start o...
My opponent is a zombie (not serious)
I am here to say that my opponent (and possibly the entire human race, excluding me) is a philosophical zombie. For a view of these terrifying creations see below.

Now what is a zombie you may ask. Zombies are all around us as well as mutants (to be explained later). They are mindless drones who walk around with no soul and consciousness beyond an evil spell or possibly a com...
Is morality Objective?
I have challenged con to the debate on the topic of morality and if it is objective or subjective. I will take the stance that morality is objective and a universal standard does exist. I do believe that morality is looked at subjectively from all standards and as this increases it opens a larger window of terrible acts throughout society. I will use the dictionary definition of morality as the foundation of our debate. For the purpose of a thorough debate I will state that I do believe in a tra...
The Ontological Argument as Proof of God
The Ontological Argument is seemingly one of the more popular arguments which Rationalistic theists like to employ in trying to prove the existence of God. The rudimentary version, as written by Anselm, essentially goes like this: -P1- One can conceive of something which is "Most Great" -P2- Existence is greater than non-existence --Conclusion--> the "Most Great" thing which was conceived of Must be existent, as existent things are more great than non-existent things. It has been arou...

The Argument from reasonable Non-Belief (ANB)
= = = Intro = = = The ANB presented will narrow the focus of the argument to Christianity exclusively, & will therefore expand the term "Non-Belief" to all positions which do not accept the truth of Christianity. My argument will also only consider "reasonable non-belief"- sincere, rational belief in any other worldview. Now this argument only applies to particular Christians, therefore theological views similar to that of John Hick (1) or Thomas Talbot (2) will find themselves less immune to s...

It is illogical for someone to disbelieve in God.
I love debating God's existence a lot! But in this debate I am going to make away with the premise that it is totally illogical for someone to be an atheist or rather, for someone to believe in atheism. It is totally illogical to believe in atheism; all emotion aside, this is an emotion free zone, I want brutality here. To know of God's existence philosophically, is it easier to start by assuming that God does or doesn't exists and then relate either one of those premises to empirical da...
hey i need help just wrote a schoalship speech on leadership id like some people to comment and help
Go to the people. Live with them. Learn from them. Love them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. But with the best leaders, when the work is done, the task accomplished, the people will say "We have done this ourselves"." Lao Tzu this is what leadership means to me, going to the people, living with them learning as much from them as they lean from you, pushing them forward to accomplish tasks that will benefit the for the long run. Standing far enough into the background that...
Being gay is harmful to society.
The trait and lifestyle of being romantically attracted to the same sex does not hurt anyone or anything. If something is not harmful to anyone, I do not understand how is can be wrong....
