Pantheism/Panentheism Is Superior To Atheism

Talib.ul-Ilm

This debate is about which ideology/belief system is superior to the other psychologically, socially, culturally, etc. The debate is not in specific about the existence of God in any way, shape or form, but is about the superiority of the belief over the other.

Superior in this sense means more beneficial/helpful to society, to mankind.

Resolved: Hitler vs Justin Bieber

imabench

After doing thorough research I have failed to find a single debate that addresses the issue of who is more evil, Hitler or Justin Bieber? This is an issue that millions of people ask themselves every day, and it is apalling that this topic has not been debated here on DDO. After making this discovery I realized that as the head troll of the site it is my sworn duty to bring this legendary debate ready to happen into fruition, and I will be...

Should evolution be taught in schools?

GlobalIssues
ekin

Evolution is a debatable theory with many arguments for and against it. For a school to be required to teach a topic with such a tension especially in a country with such a large population of Christians is wrong and would spur conflict. People would feel that it goes against their rights to have their children taught something that goes against their religion and or beliefs. The bottom line is teaching evolution would create more conflict than not teaching it....

Resolved: There are no satisfactory Trinitarian theories that do not require an appeal to mystery

In an article published by the Religious Studies journal out of Cambridge University Press, Dale Tuggy argues with formidable clarity that the two most distinguished approaches to understanding the Trinity, both Social and Latin Trinitarianism, fail to surmount important logical and biblical conditions. Tuggy also sharply criticizes the appeal to “myst...

This is, in a way a troll debate. I will be arguing in favor that china will be taking over the world in the near future. You will be arguing against this. I do not actually believe China will take over the world, this is merely for the sake of entertainment, and arguing....

Humans Can Have A Soul

Humans Can Have A Soul

For this to be true I must show that humans can have a soul, but that it is reasonable.

A Souls is that which gives someone free will.
Free will is the ability for someone to make a choice that is not predetermined. [1]
If absolute determinism is true then there can be no free will.
If there is no free will then there can be no soul.

However, the uncertainty principle shows absolute “newtonian”...
