Resolved: Buddhism is more valid than Christianity

My opponent has claimed certain things in my argument is irrelevant, but has failed to explain why or how they are irrelevant. This I can only assume is a defensive mechanism to avoid an actual counter-argument.Pope Divinity Luscious Ferrari's, the eighteenth-century canoeist of the Franciscan order, said that the pope was divine. He said, "The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God." (1)Luscious also said, "As to papal authority, the Pope is as it were God on earth, Sole sovereign of all the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having a plentitude of unbroken power, entrusted by the omnipotent God to govern the earthly and heavenly kingdoms." (1)Luscious even stated that, "The Pope is of so great authority and power, that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws." 1) Thus the pope is god on earth, and can his word is the word of god. Book of the Dead I never said the book of the dead was part of atenism, as Christianity and Judaism both have aspects of Atenism and the Egyptian Pantheon. Again I never said Christianity was Atenism, I said it was a perversion of Atenism.Moses was not a Hebrew Slave For a Christian my opponent doesn't seem familiar with Christianity, at all.Moses was born to slave parents, but was adopted by Egyptian royalty. The Pharaoh of Egypt was his adoptive brother. As Egyptian royalty I assume he was well versed in the religion and history of Egypt. Sources and Reincarnation I have already addressed reincarnation, and all of my opponent's sources. Because my opponent chooses not to read my argument in full, does not mean that I did not argue the points. I can close my eyes and walk forward, but just because I can't see the wall, doesn't mean it's not there.Basis for ClaimsAll claims I have made, I have cited sources for, including the unreliability of Flavius. My opponent on the other hand, has made many claims without sources. Animals Again Robert Defranco, Director of the Animal Behavior Center in Queens, N.Y., and author of several research papers on animal emotions, says animals definitely have primary emotions like fear, and anger. Defranco says that there is growing evidence that they also have secondary emotions like love, jealousy and greed. (2) MoralityMy opponent claims, that morals in which we are not preposition to can only be established by God, yet many Morals we have today was established not by god but by State Laws. For example statutory rape.Validly of the 4 noble truths & 8-fold path without ScripturesBuddha realized the 4 noble truths through meditation, not through reading scriptures. It was not given to him by the divine, it was realized, than taught to others. This means that we don't need scriptures to help us reach enlightenment. The sutras are a guide to the path to enlightenment, but are not a requirement. The historical Buddha attained enlightenment without the use of scriptures. I haven't dropped any points My opponent has claimed that I have dropped points, when I haven't. This is a poor attempt to sway voters who are skimming, not reading the debate. In conclusion Unlike Christianity, Buddhism welcomes scientific scrutiny. Buddhism teaches personal responsibility, and does not deny nor recognize the existence of god. Reincarnation is capable, because it's not limited to earth, nor humans. New scientific break through show that animals have more emotions than humans, both primary and secondary. Christianity is a perversion of the ancient Egyptian religion, which is nothing more than myth. The pope is a newer version of the Egyptian Pharaoh, and is, or at least was considered God on Earth, by canonists. Buddhism principles beliefs are true, and does not rely on scriptures for validity. Christianity relies so heavily on scriptures that it becomes the absolute word of god, that cannot be questioned, even when challenged by science. Buddhism follows the middle way, and thus does not deal in absolutes, or perceptions. The Buddha himself said, “Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” (3)1.) http://biblelight.net... 2.) http://abcnews.go.com... 3.) http://wesburden.com...
