God is real can tell because he saved me a lot of times he kept my dad in the world during a tragic time when he slept walked out of a window and fell onto a cement ground. Not really anybody could survive that.That night I prayed and asked God why he saved my dad.He didn't exactly tell me until I slept.He said that my dad was what I loved most.Of course he was right.He continued and said that I needed him in this world.Which is too true.Also,why would there be a BIBLE if he wasn't true.Where do miracles come from.How come 32.5% of the world believe in him and Jesus.(If you do think its alot,go to www.ageofthesage.org/mysticism/world_religionspopulations.html)Also,how can one book be so right 100% of the time about the world we live in.It all falls down to 1 decision.The Holy Trinity(Father,Son,and Holy Spirit).Also,if there is and opposite to everything,wouldn't the be an opposite to Satan.Dark vs. Light,Wrong vs. Right.Good vs. Evil.There only one man to fill the hole,Jesus.The only reason God does devestating things to certain people is to test your Strength mentally not physcially and to give you more wisdom.Good luck to the opponent.Sorry its just 1 round because as 11 years old I can't stay home.
I chose to do this because my thoughts are exactly the same as the Pro's. But I thought it would be fun to play devil's advocate. So here we go. Thank you to my opponent for offering an interesting topic. To start, let's look at my opponents first sentence. "God is real can tell because he saved me a lot of times he kept my dad in the world during a tragic time when he slept walked out of a window and fell onto a cement ground." Aside from the many grammatical errors here, this argument is extremely weak. Due to the fact that this is Pro's first statement and he/she says "God is real can tell because.." then that must mean this is the main reason God is real. However, just because you've had one instance in which a miracle happen, that does not mean God is real. Perhaps the real cause of Pro's father being alive is the fact that he fell just right and it is more of a medical miracle then anything else. My opponent goes on to say God is real because he spoke to him in his sleep. Well, I've almost been eaten by a 3-headed dragon in my dreams. Does that make them real? Of course not. Pro goes on to bring up the Bible. Well, to answer my opponents question, there is a bible for the same reason there is a Twilight series. Someone wrote them. Perhaps in a dark time, a few wise old men got together and decided their people needed some hope, so they came up with a fictional character to help them. Pro also ask's why do miracle's happen? Well, as I stated earlier, there are miracles. But they aren't necessarily God's doing. If a baby is born against all odds, it's a medical miracle. If you see a shooting star when you're having a bad day, you got lucky enough to witness SCIENCE. Miracles do not mean God. Pro asks why 32.5% of people believe in him. And that's easy. We want hope. We want a higher being backing us up and telling us everything will be okay. My opponent goes on to say there's an opposite to everything so there needs to be an opposite to Satan. Well, as the Con, I'm saying God isn't real. So it'd only be logical for me to assume if there is no God, there is no Satan. In conclusion, there is an explanation for everything. God is simply a figure created many many years ago to give people hope. Thank you to my opponent and anyone who takes the time to read this and vote. :) |

Reasons for voting decision: Lil_Bit poked holes in each of cobewilliams' points. For example, "if there is and opposite to everything,wouldn't the be an opposite to Satan." Your logic pre-supposes that (1) Satan exists and that (2) There is an opposite to everything. Lil_bit pointed out there is no evidence for your first premise and many disagree. I would've additionally asked you to tell me the opposite of "Bookshelf"! Lil_bit also made fewer spelling & grammar mistakes.

Reasons for voting decision: If there had been a humor category, it would've gone to Lil_bit for her three-headed dragon dream. Spelling and grammar obviously go to Lil_bit, but considering cobewilliam's age, I'm confident that he will make some improvements over the next few years. Arguments go to Lil_bit because she easily showed the many weaknesses in cobewilliams' arguments.











Debate Resolution: Does 1 + 1 = 2?
Pro: I like footballs and superman.
Con: I have a pile of sand on the right and a pile of sand on the left. I put them together and what do I have? A pile of sand! Clearly, 1+1=1.
Who did I agree with before the debate? Pro.
Who did I agree with after the debate? Pro.
Who had the most convincing argument? Con
It keeps no records of wrongs? Great, nobody is going to hell, there are no records :)
It does not envy? That pansy is admittedly jealous :)
The preceeding exposure of fraud is brought to you by our faithful sponsors, CHECK and MATE :)
1) STUDY--What most christians call bible study is actually bible worship :)
2) MORALITY--Morality is the act of doing what causes the least amount of harm to others. christians say that morality is dictated by god but the act of doing what one demands is submission NOT morality :)
3) ADULTERY--jesus saus that lust is adultery in Matthew 5:28. The word adultery means having sex with a person while being married or with someone who is married to another. The word lust means to have sexual desires. Having the desire to do something is Not the same as doing something :)
4) TRUTH--Truth is the conformity with fact or reality. Truth is dictated by supporting evidence, not mere claims. Simply claiming that something or someone is the "truth" is a misuse of the word :)
5) FREEWILL--What christians commonly call "freewill" is actually just "will". In the holy binky god only gave us the ability to choose what we want to do (will) but not the freedom to act upon those choices. As it is told, we are required to do what the pansy (god) commands or we could be subject to an eternity of torment :)
6) LOVE--Love is an intense affection for someone or something. Calling the pansy (god) "love", does Not mean his actions automatically fit such a definition. Just as calling a pig an "airplane", does not mean it suddenly can fly. The pansy doesnt even fit the definition of love given by paul in 1Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Not easily angered? Ready
Playing devil's advocate is a metaphor. It means that you pretend to have a point of view that you don't actually have. For example, if I honestly thought abortion was wrong, but I wanted to defend the view that abortion was not wrong, I'd be playing devil's advocate.
Well, don't leave us in suspense. Tell us what it is!
Yes, you do!
