Idiot debate: The hatred of atheists.


The format is simple; introduction, rebuttal, conclusion. We will be debating idiotically about the subject of why people hate atheists. If you take it seriously, you lose. The stance that will be defended by me in this idiot debate; when people are rejected, they usually feel a bit of anger. They may even feel hatred towards the rejector. People whom hold god close enough have a feel that atheists reject them by rejecting their god- for it is a projection of their version of the perfect b...
People should not been posting unnecessary topics . Such as Pokemon , superheros , my lil ponys.

It is just dumb to fill up the debates with super hero's and Pokemon stuff. There are actually people doing assignments trying to find debates to go to the next grade to graduate. Really grow up ...

Given her advanced years it can't be long now before she joins Colonel Gadafi, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il and...

Homosexual couples can raise children just as well as heterosexual couples.


This debate is based on my opponent's assertion that homosexual couples cannot raise children as well as heterosexual couples. He's agreed to debate me on this topic before; however, due to my work schedule I was unable to participate and had to forfeit. Apparently he has a lot of credible sources to back up his point of view. While I don't care about the automatic loss, I'd like the opportunity for my opponent to defend his beliefs. I'm planning on taking Thursday off, so hopefully that plus th...
