Homosexual acts are immoral

Noumena
GarretKadeDupre

Pro will offer their opening arguments in support of the resolution in R1 and will not post in R4 so as to maintain equality in case length.


===Definitions===


Homosexual acts refer to consensual sex acts between two or more members of the same sex. To keep the debate focused I will obviously not be defending male on male or female on female rape. I will only be defending consensual gay sex against the charges of immorality.

Nonsensical argument debate

imabench
Grape

Ok here's how it works.... Ill start out by making a general statement, and then provide nonsensical arguments supporting the resolution. The Con will then counter argue against my nonsensical arguments using nonsensical arguments of his own. Whoever has the funnier/least sensical arguments wins. Example of a nonsensical argument: "Obama is black because the Volcano God Morgan Freeman said so when he wrote the Bible using ink made of his own semen mixed with crushed ipod mini's containing...

Belief Is Dangerous And Should Be Avoided

van77maxon
Pennington

Humans have held many absurd and, at times, hazardous beliefs. Examples can be found in our various traditions, myths, cultural biases, superstitions, regulations, legends, miracle stories, advertisements, etc. Further, if we look closely, the ruinous controversies, conspiracies and conflicts all around us link back like branches to our core beliefs. If we want to kill a tree, we don't just go out and start tugging the leaves off or gnawing on a few branches. Instead, we take a chainsaw or an...

The Devil is on balance a better role model than God

Man-is-good

===Resolution===


This debate will be dealing with the relevant characters in the forms represented by Christianity and the Christian Bible. Whether one of the characters is a better role model will be with regards to their actions represented in the Bible. Note though that no religion will necessarily be assumed to be correct.

The Devil: a fallen angel who rebelled against God. The Devil is often identified as the serpent...

A man should be able to relinquish all responsibility for an unborn child.

toolpot462
Cometflash

My full resolution is as such: a man should be able to relinquish all responsibility for an unborn child as long as a woman can essentially do the same by aborting it. If a woman finds out that she is pregnant, she has the only say in whether she gets an abortion or not (as long as it's legal). If the man doesn't want to have the child, but the woman does, he's out of luck; he can either stay with the mother and child, or leave and pay child support. Either way, he has some sort of legal res...

The Pro will have the primary burden of proof in formulating and defending an argument against the existence of an afterlife. Con's burden will be to deconstruct and refute Pro's case.


===Definitions===


An afterlife is defined as "the concept of a realm, or the realm itself (whether physical or transcendental), in which an essential part of an individual's identity or consciousness continues to reside after the death o...

The U.S. culture and morals are collapsing because of excessive scientific development

jacandmac
danielawesome12

The morals and beliefs of the U.S. are disappearing. These ideas were built by religions that founded this country in jeopardy. Homosexuality is a widespread disease that is corrupting the minds of the American youth. Abortion is not only legal in most regions, but generally accepted and support by the population. Firearms, however, are seen, by most as extremity dangerous and must be banned, while dangerous drugs appear safer and legalized. The list can continue, but what is the cause of a...
