catholic church has never contradicted itself
in this debate, i am not counting the issues of limbo, or "no salvation outside the catholic church". you would think if the catholic church were not true, that it would have contradicted itself at some point in two thousand years. the only things that count are statements that are authoritative, things that could be considerted "infallible". the pope, intentionally, teaches, the church, on faith and morals. that is the criteria. it includes many councils and other statements by popes....
Hindu teachings are more practical than the Bible
The bible states that there are the sheep and the goats,[1] which prevents interaction with the secular world.[2][3] Hindus are extremely tolerant of other beliefs and ideologies recognising that from a karmic point of view we are all progressing directly or indirectly towards a spiritual apotheosis.[4] The bible states that hell is the destination of non-adherents, claiming that 68.5% of the world will be damned.[1][5] Hinduism is an enriching experience - full of vibrant colour, gentl...
I claim the existence of God
You must take on the full burden of proof. No Bible verses, no semantics, no BS definitions, no cut and pasted arguments. If you make a claim it has to be backed with evidence, otherwise it's nothing I have to bother to argue against....

No, because there is no proof any of these storiess took place...
The KCA is ridiculous.
It is, frankly it seems like a cheap way out of cosmology to me. The Logic in the argument can be used against God and makes no sense. Not trying to be offensive here but I hate this argument with a passion. (Much like the fine tuning argument)1st round is acceptance....

Burden of Proof:
Pro is to affirming, using Logic and Reasoning, that no one deserves to go to hell.
Con is to prove, using Logic and Reasoning, that people can deserve to go to hell. This means that citing scripture can be used as evidence, but is not proof. If t...

Islam Is a Religion of Peace: part II
My opponent was unfortunately a few minutes late in posting his argument, so we have decided to make a part II. Try to be more careful in this debate about how much time you have left. The full resolution, definitions, rules, and debate structure are the same. Here is the previous debate: http://www.debate.org/debates/Islam-Is-a-Religion-of-Peace/3/ Enjoy....
God's supposed murders are often actually deserved executions
I will be arguing that the God of the Bible isn't a murderer as some people say, but sometimes acts as an executioner. God= the God of the jews in the Bible Murderer= someone who kills someone outside of protecting someone, war, or someone who deserves to die (Hitler, Mussolini, Bin Laden, McVeigh, etc.) Executioner= Someone who kills someone who commited a crime deserving the death penalty, such as murder. Please vote. I want to improve my debating ability, and I can't do that if you do...
