Jesus Christ rose from the dead
This debate is for a graduate level class assignment. Please only accept this debate if you are willing to take any arguments seriously and respectfully and have enough time to participate in all three rounds. Thank you! ----------------------------------------------- If Jesus Christ rose from the dead he first would have lived. The argument of Jesus historically is one that is very rarely objected to.

The jury system should be eliminated for the criminal trails.
It should be eliminated because the jurors do not take it seriously and they do not get money, and also the voting system effect their vote because of emotions and background. And they are not layers!...
Are there Actually Rules of War?
Greetings to my opponent. :D Good luck, have fun and keep it clean. This argument regards the controversies of war. We see many atrocities occur, and the question is asked, do rules of war actually exist? In this debate, I am going to make a case that conventional soldiers and armies do generally fight according to the rules. The 'rules of war' do exist, whether or not they are actually written or merely an unspoken agreement. Though they may not be followed often, especially in the unconv...
Alcoholics Anonymous is NOT a cult
More than 100,000 Americans die a year from alcohol (Vaillant, 435). AA is not a cult. Rather helps alcoholics to achieve sobriety so they live happy, useful lives.

I am looking forward to an intelligent debate, I do request only an opponent that has adequate time to spend on their responses and can respond in a timely fashion to join this debate. Oxford English Dictionary defined "cult" as: "Worship; reverential h...

Moral Relativism is an erroneous ethical theory.
I thank my opponent for accepting this open debate. I find this to be an interesting topic (ethics in general is interesting; I refused to be bored with it) and I hope a worthy opponent can accept this as I'd desire a hearty exchange. I noticed that there are some moral relativists on this website, notably Kleptin. I'd like to challenge them on this issue, since I find moral relativism to be unequivocally an incredibly flawed conception. The reason why I implemented 4 rounds is because o...
The continued prohibition of marijuana is far more harmful than the drug itself.
My position is that there are many extremely detrimental aspects of marijuana prohibition, and that these override the limited negative effects of legalization. To start, I will dispel the more common arguments against legalization. I will go into greater detail on any topic if requested. One, the "Gateway Drug" theory. That is, smoking marijuana tends to lead to the use of "harder", more addicting drugs. Studies have shown that statistically this is not the case.(1) Logically, as that stu...

This will be a Lincoln Douglas style debate) B.H. Liddell once wrote, "conscription is the cancer of civilization." Because I agree with Liddell I Affirm today's Resolution.
