Agnosticism isn't an absurd belief system

TUF
Smithereens

My Belief in Agnosticism: The belief in being open to the possibility of an entity commonly classified as God, however, not pursuing one illogically. Based on my opponent having several different aspects of belief here, I will let him start. I am starting this debate due to my opponents mis-informed approach at Agnosticism in this thread: http://www.debate.org/forums/religion/topic/31778/ I am not starting this debate to call him out, or to try and ridicule him. I hope that by him...

Without God there is no objective basis for morality.

Nontheists should feel free to argue that, although God is irrelavent, morality is relative.

First round is for acceptance last round for rebuttals only.

Good luck.

Google is better than Bing

Google has a vastly larger following, Bing is tiny in comparison. People tend to prefer Google, so I would say Google is better than Bing. Google is much better than Bing. There is a reason why "Google that" is a common phrase. I have experience with both and Google is much more user friendly. Google also has much more services associated with their site and company such as Gmail, mapping apps, and is associated with Youtube....

participation of foreign countries in protecting human rights of a country could be justified.

There are many types of administrations in the world. Some are democratic, some are socialist. But, human rights are common to everyone. Of course, because we all are humans. Therefore if a certain human right is violated either by the society or the government, other countries could involve in order to help the victim affected. Even if both the society and the government was against the victim, he/she could get the help of a foreign country/ organization in order to get justice for themselves!...

I've done some fairly extensive research into the effects of gun control, the main arguments put forth by both parties, and the main focuses both sides have in this debate. I have come to conclude that proponents of gun control are severely misguided.

I am not arguing that pro-gun advocates aren't misguided, but rather the gun-control side has practically no legitimate arguments for their position and the overwhelming majority of them refuse to properly consider the previous eff...

It is not okay to be an adult over the age of 25, and still live at home for no legitimate reason!

There is absolutely no reason for any grown adult in general, male or female, to live at home under their parents roof, with their parents financially supporting them. There is no reason that they cannot simply go out each day and apply for any and all job opportunities and move out. I can understand if you are a young adult, still figuring your life out and needing a few extra years at home... But at what point in time do you realize that it is not okay to rely on your parents for the rest of y...
