Anyone up for a debate with an athiest?

Question

Im prepared to have a mass debate with anyone who thinks they know God.

I before E except after C. Now, lets get back to mass debating. This stuff turns me on.

Answer 1

You can't have a mass-debate with a Catholic, I think they see it as a sin.

Answer 2

I've done the whole church thing once in my life and I do remember feeling a presence that would come over me when I was there.

Now I have mixed emotions. I don't believe in the bible. I mean some guy named Mohammad says god spoke to me and told me to write this book? If that happened in this day and age we'd have him committed for being a psycho

I believe there is some type of higher power. Not like a heaven and hell but someone who helps us find peace after death. I've seen people be effected by the holy spirit. But no one really knows. That's why its called faith. We'll all find out after death I suppose.

Answer 3

Atheist is an exception to the i before e rule. Check your spelling with spell checker or dictionary. As an atheist I wish you luck with debating but it usually comes down to I believe because I have faith that what I believe is true. Logic and facts don't enter into at the end. They may start out with what they think is the logic of their faith but as that is stripped away when the other side knows what they are talking about they fall back on "well you can't PROVE I am wrong even if there is no evidence for it I have faith I am right."

Answer 4

What is there to 'debate'? Aussie, darling, it's pointless to 'debate' with right-wing American Fundies, and besides what can be said other than that there are no gods? You know, it's better to pity these folks. I'm thinking that many who present themselves here on R&S are young, perhaps teenagers or close to it, home-schooled by a rabid fundamentalist parent, and not comfortable with such mysterious objects as the English language and its many colorations and twists and turns. Honestly, debating with these human critters is, in my mind, child abuse. But you, you be well, dear heart, forever well.

Answer 5

Depends. Do you know what logic is? I don't mean common sense, I mean formal logic? A debate with someone who throws things out, then calls you names for not "believing them" is not debating, they are ranting. That's a waste of anyone's time. Or how about someone who is quoting things (including the Bible) as if that substitutes for debate (it can clarify a point, as can an analogy, but neither is an argument in and of itself)? Is this what you intend? That also is simply two people posting other people's opinions and confusedly thinking that proves something.

I would be interested in such a debate without these things, with someone who knows a modicum of logic and is familiar with various religions as well as scientific method.

See my profile. Don't post anything you wouldn't want made public, however, as I don't waste my time with people who behave rudely in ways they would never do it public.

I support free speech, and my friends are chosen from those who educate me, not those who agree with me all the time. I am very familiar with atheist views (have some great books on the subject, pro-, not con-), as well as most of the religions in the world, having read many of their holy books.

Sounds like fun if you haven't confused your ideas with your self-image. Such people get upset any time their ideas are challenged. Total waste of time to talk to them. They never back off to try to get understanding back on line, just press forward more angrily than before. Needy.

Ready any time. Only by email, however, as I'm not online that often.

Answer 6

i've got not got any problem debating atheists, and that i thoroughly savor doing it. i'm a member of the Richard Dawkins talk board, and that i've got completed loads of learn on what atheists could desire to assert. maximum atheist arguments have holes in them, in spite of the actuality that many atheists like to sell the thought that they are extra sensible, and that they place self belief in good judgment and rational thought to assist formulate their viewpoints. What all of us knows of is that the main suitable grade technology can get is "incomplete," and many what's meant to pass for logical and rational is laughable. i like it that there are a number of atheists in this talk board, and that i think of this could be a great venue for kicking around recommendations with regard to the non secular and spiritual realm, in spite of what people ensue to have faith. maximum suitable desires!

Answer 7

You will not get anything from debate So stop debating Stand infront of the mirror and you will find the God

Answer 8

Go for it.,

Atheists often challenge the theist to prove God’s existence only within the confines of science.
Science has served humanity well. Through it, we have discovered countless natural laws of the universe and use that knowledge to make our lives easier in every area of our existence. But to limit a theist's proofs to the confines of what the atheist demands is terribly one-sided. To a Christian, there are experiences that science and logic cannot explain. The atheist needs to recognize that we have experiences that are life-changing. No mere psychological set of theories explains the changes in our lives. So please, don't mock them. Can science nail down all that exists in mind, body, and soul? No. Can it quantify the beauty of a sunset, the cooing of a baby, or the love of a man and a woman? Science and logic have served us well, but they are not the ultimate truth to all things.
Of course, that does not mean we ignore science. In fact, we use it in our proofs for God. But to limit the playing field to your set of rules is an improper way to start. It is mostly an attempt to initiate control and keep command of the conversation by setting the ground rules according to your criteria.

Though an atheist may not accept biblical evidence as support for God's existence, it does not negate the fact that the Bible is evidence. Whether or not the atheist wants to accept it is another matter.

Answer 9

Glutton for punishment, huh?

Just kidding. Actually . . . if you define the terms of the debate to NOT make ANY reference to scripture; Christians, Jews and Muslims will not be able to make a defense.

All these religions are based on convoluted superstitions and circular, self-referential logic (i.e. they make assertions from scripture, then use scripture again to support their assertions).

There is no debate. Just cold-blooded stripping of delusions.

Answer 10

Your brains will melt by the end of the day. There's no debating a christian. They don't use logic. Every answer will be the bible is right because the bible says so. Good luck.
