For further clarification, I shall provide this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Questions ========================== Rules: 1. Con must ask Pro ten questions in Round 1 and another ten in Round 2. These questions can only have a possible answer of: yes, no, maybe, or sometimes. 2. With Con's questions, he/she will try to find clues as to what object Pro has in mind. 3. In Rounds 2 and 3, Pro will answer Con's questions with a yes, no, maybe, sometimes, or an explanation to clarify the response. 4. In Round 3, Con will guess what object that Pro had in mind. 5. In Round 4, Pro will reveal the object that he was thinking of. If Con was correct in his/her guess, Con automatically wins the debate. However, if Con was incorrect with the guess, Con will have Round 4 to try and point out if Pro either answered a question that was contradictory with the object in mind or if Pro in http://www.debate.org/debates/Twenty-Questions/2/comments/ 2010-07-12T10:15:53-08:00 http://www.debate.org/debates/The-legend-of-Jesus-is-remarkably-similar-to-that-of-the-Egyptian-God-Horus/1/ (Post Voting Period) The legend of Jesus is astonishingly similar to that of the Egyptian god Horus who came before him. The similarities that stand out most to me are: -virgin birth -people were lead to their births by a star -both born around the winter solstice -birth announced by angels -birth witnessed by shepherds -Herut tried to kill Horus during infancy, Herod tried to kill Jesus during infancy -no data of either one between ages 12 and 30 -both baptized in a river at age 30 -both of their baptizers were beheaded later in life. There are more but I will leave the voters to read them: http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcpa5b.htm http://www.debate.org/debates/The-legend-of-Jesus-is-remarkably-similar-to-that-of-the-Egyptian-God-Horus/1/comments/ 2011-03-24T09:15:55-08:00
