God exists
God cannot exist because there is no proof of his existence. Please give me evidence or facts that prove God does indeed exist....
Being gay is a choice, God did not "make" them that way
I am sick and tired of people saying that it isnt there fault they are gay and that god made them gay, god would not create something that breaks his own laws, purposefully. He created his laws for a reason and wants everyone to be in heavon and if you are gay then you will not be in heavon so why would god create someone just so they can burn in hell?...
Religion (in general)
I believe in freedom of religion. However, I wish religion had never existed. Religion has been a very negative influence over all, but people fail to see what religion really did to us. Read the argument and don't let your religious belief influence your vote. 1) Prosecution and Religious Wars. A lot of people have been persecuted for their religious belief, millions died this way, and no matter how you color it, that has a negative outcome on the world. The Crusades destroyed historic...
Geographical evidence points to a global flood that coincides w/ Genesis account of Noah's Ark
Geographical evidence points to a global flood that coincides with the Genesis account of Noah's Ark This is my first post on the site and look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to debate this topic. Peace. 1)Global flood evidences include: The earth's features (such as mountains, canyons, regional stratigraphy (large-scale single rock beds), soft bending of rock strata, etc.) require some type of catastrophic explanation. Sedimentary rock formations (formed through w...
evolution is wrong
There are too many problems with many of the claims evolutionists use to justify their beliefs. Take for example the fossil record. There is an enormous gap between the simpler organisms and the more complex organisms. There is also a problem with their theory of how birds evolved. The example most defenders of evolution use is that of the archaeopteryx. while it looks like it is half reptile half bird, scientists who study such things say that it was closer to a flightless bird much like our ow...
I am God, and you do not exist.
Yes, that's right. Not only am I God, but you don't even exist. How can I support such a grand claim? Simple. First, the reason I am God. I use the term God somewhat loosely, but mean it to suggest that I am all powerful and all knowing, and I created the universe. I think that's close enough. So here's the deal: all of creation is the product of my subconsciousness. Everything I see, feel, touch, everything I sense, is a fabrication of my mind. While this may seem impossible, just think: all...
The moral code of the christian religion is violent and hateful.
Before you here my argument, hear this. It is good to believe in something, it truly is; but do not be a slave to that belief. Beliefs change. Do not split your mind in two, and deny contradicting information because you are afraid of being seen as blasphemous. If you're beliefs are true, then you should be able to consider, hear other argumants, and be skeptical, and it will still be true. Splitting your mind is extremely unhealthy. Ponder on your beliefs, and let me start a seed of critical th...
Given the Bible, God is Morally Repugnant and Undeserving of Praise (+).
I could have simply phrased this debate "God is Morally Repugnant and Undeserving of Praise" but then I remembered a debate I was just in where the person who accepted the debate gets to define God. This is not the case here - for purposes of this debate, we shall defer to the Judeo-Christian sense of God, and if it pleases my opponent, we may use the same version of a "mainstream" Bible - I would suggest the New American Bible, for it is the one I shall present my opening arguments from. Th...
There is most likely no life after death
My argument is simple: there isn't sufficient evidence to believe in an afterlife, so we ought not to. The idea of an afterlife dates back to antiquated notions of a "vital spark", "spirit", or similar nonmaterial substance or energy which was supposedly responsible for animating living things. Modern science has shown that life operates through complex chemical reactions, and does not need an extra vitalistic "thing" in order to function. Bacteria do not seem to need souls in order to move a...
The Existence of God
Hello, I am debating against the topic of, "Is there a God" I only have one thing to say: if you can't prove that there is a god, then you lose the debate. The opppostition's job is to prove that god exists, and if there is no proof, you don't prove that god exists. I rest my case....
