This means that you must definitely be the Pro.
Please don't be silly to need definitions and all of that, it is all just a Google search away.
If you argue something like "reproduce" then you must explain how infertile creatures and hybrids, such as ligers, have a meaning to their life.
Please also only accept this if you have more than one meaning at the ready o...
Which is worse, Dogmatism or Self-Deception?
Is it possible to be so Self-Deceptive that it turns into Dogmatism? I for one believe so, and I also believe that Self-Deception is a far better personality quirk to possess instead of the incoherence and close mindedness that is Dogmatism. If you believe Dogmatism is the lesser of two evils, then please explain how....

Homosexual acts are immoral
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.

It is most probable that a god exists.
God is a maximally great being, and by definition, you cannot conceive of anything greater than god.

Atheism is An Untenable Position
While I am not concerned withdefinitionsfor atheism here (see 1.1), I think a passing comment on the clarity of my positionin regards to atheismbeing an"untenable position"are in order. By 'untenable', I merely mean to say that the given position (i.e. atheism) cannot be held consistently given the consideration of existing counter-factuals. These counter-factuals take their form apart from calling the atheist "del...
