I can out insult anyone, via flame war
I possess a mastery in the fine craft of crap talking. I can out insult anyone, there is indeed no man who can withstand my relentless barrage of words that attack the soul like how a rusty jagged edged dagger stabs a heart. I'm like flee ridden psychopathic rabie infested wolverine that just wants to devour and destroy any form of contention. How can I make such claims? Instead of a sissyfied debate that men with manginas oftentimes engage in, I challenge con to a verbal flame war where I wi...
Christianity is a force for good in the world.
On balance, Christianity has done far more harm than good in the modern world. Its human rights record is disgraceful and the negative impacts of its dogmas have reverberated throughout history and even into the present day. As though this wasn't bad enough it also impoverishes the human condition by distracting people from their real happiness with illusory preachments of an afterlife. And despite the good intentions of many decent people it is still one of the prime sources of a considerable a...
The food, the fat and the gluttony: it's time to help the obese help themselves
Two news stories caught my eye this week. Firstly the misery and suffering of the acutely malnourished children in the world's largest refugee camp in Kenya. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/08/09/largest.refugee.camp/index.html Some might say these children are the lucky ones as thousands of other kids have already starved to death in famine stricken East Africa. The second story that took my attention concerned a New Jersey woman, Donna Simpson, who weighs in at 602lb (43 stone...
The Problem of Hell
I thank Gileandos for agreeing to debate this very important topic with me. We will be debating the problem of hell. [1]
In short, I aim to make the case that the traditional doctrine of hell as eternal, conscious, torment is, in all likelihood, incompatible with the Christian God. If the Christian God has the traits typically ascribed to him by Christians like perfectly lovi...
Using a time machine to go back and kill Hitler would be a bad idea.
I thank my opponent for the chance to debate. My opponent may not argue from semantics, as it is clear what the resolution states, although an exception may be made if he/she comes up with a particularly interesting objection to the resolution. Firstly, an argument against the viability of time travel itself; -- The Classic Paradox -- First, imagine time travel were made possible, and somebody travels back in time in order to meet their grandfather, whom they never knew. Now, say that...
Premarital Sex is not a Sin
Post every single proof verse against Pre-marital sex, I refute it and then you refute my rebuttals, and it goes back and forth until rounds are over or there's a winning....
Abortion Is Morally Permissible
I want to begin by saying how pleased I am to debate Trent on this most important of moral issues. Like my opponent, I have a deep interest in bioethics. So I'm very much looking forward to discussing the philosophical aspects of abortion with such a capable and passionate contender. In this debate I'm going to defend two basic contentions. First, there are no good reasons to think that abortion is morally wrong. And secondly, there are good reasons to think that abortion is morally permissib...

Marijuana Legalization
I think marijuana should be legalized. For the purposes of the debate, let's assume laws under legalization would make pot similar to alcohol (21 age limit, no driving under the influence, etc.) 1. Other substances Alcohol impairs you more, yet is legal. Cigarettes offer all of the same health concerns, but offer no significant benefit (high) and most cigarette smokers smoke more than marijuana users on a daily basis. Also, marijuana has been medically proven to be non-habit-forming, unlike...
Gay Marriage
Gay marriage defeats the purpose of "marriage". Modern day marriage is descended from Christianity and the Christian marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not arguing that gay couples should not get the same rights, but for what their partnership should be called....
