Rock/Metal is the Devils Music

1. Where did god come from? And more importantly with regard to this debate. Where did the devil come from. As you assert in round 2. Something can not exist without being created. If your god was all fantastic, surely he wouldn't have created the devil. 2. Sound has existed ever since matter has existed and matter was around long before humans came up with the notion of a god or a devil Creatures were manipulating sound long before humans ever did and long before the human notion of a god or a devil. Humans have been manipulating sound to create " Rock/Metal" for a mere fifty years or so. If what you say is correct, then the only one who can offer judgement on "Rock/Metal" would be god them self. And as a god hasn't made them self available for a couple of thousand years, obviously then, there is no worthy justification of your claim. 3. Pro's proposition, ultimately relies on the existence of a devil and the consequent proof that the devil created "Rock/Metal". Pro offers time worn theory to argue the existence of a god. But offers no evidence whatsoever to argue the existence of a devil.

Here are 4 things that prove that God is real. 1. Jesus Christ, a real human being, had died on a cross to save us from our sins. The Crucifixion is an event that is historical fact, that is just as real as World War II and Adolf Hitler. The Resurrection was confirmed to be real by hundreds of witnesses. This is something that no false God did, proving that all other religions are a fraud. 2. The Bible, which is divided into 66 books, from Genesis to Revelation, is the best-selling book of all time, with over 5 billion copies, with over 100 million more being sold each year. He used 40 people that have nothing to do with each-other, to write the 66 books, and put them into one big book, which spread the religion to where it became the largest in the world. 3. "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen." - Romans 1:20. The eternal power and divine nature is shown through thunderstorms, earthquakes, hailstorms, and that God put the Earth at the exact position away from the sun as it needed to be. This proves that there is a God that created the universe. More of this will be shown during the Tribulation period which is to take place after the Rapture, which nobody knows when that will be. 4. The Sin from the world, which includes Murder, Lying, Vandalism, Swearing, and Stealing, would've never came to be without Satan to begin that. God originally intended Adam and Eve to live forever as perfect creatures, but Satan had them eat from that bad tree. Satan could not exist without a God, as he is not all-powerful. It is fact that God is real, and it is also a fact, that you will have to answer one day for your sins.

Without a God, there would be no universe. The Universe could not create itself, and to prove that the god is a Christian god, he sent Jesus to die on a cross to die for our sins. On the third day, he resurrected himself. This is something that no false god could do. Without the Devil, there would be no sin. Then we wouldn't be arguing about this, because all rock/metal acts would never exist. It is true that sound has been manipulated for at least 6017 years. God has always existed through that time, and even the first humans Adam and Eve, would've had to give an account to God. Sin was around since the beginning, probably even before Adam and Eve were born, when Satan (known as Lucifer at the time), wanted to be God, but God didn't want that as he sinned, and sent him to hell. You will answer to God one day for the sins you commit, and give an account of your life, about all the things you did, including listening to ungodly satanic music. "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." - Romans 14:12 If you want to know more about whether a band is Satanic or Not, it takes three requirements for them to be a Christian act. If not, then they are of the devil. 1. The purpose of the songs is to Glorify God - Not every band labeled Christian is actually a Christian band. Mumford & Sons isn't a Christian band, because they even said they didn't like being labeled one. A true Christian band would create songs that glorify, praise God, and all the members would be Christians, whose goal is to win more souls to the Lord. 2. Their Lyrics must glorify God - Even if a band is full of Christians, their lyrics may not be that godly. 12 Stones was labeled a Christian band, but I've looked at the lyrics and haven't heard the word "God" or "Jesus" or anything like that in any of their lyrics. This makes them a Satanic band. Other good Christian acts, will create lyrics to glorify god, and win more souls to the Lord. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." - 1 Corinthians 10:31 3. The Style of the Music must not be Worldly - Most Christian Acts nowadays, and the reason why CCM should be called CSM (Contemporary Satanic Music), is because they take the style of worldly acts, and put Christian lyrics. This is not true Christianity, and still makes the band Satanic. Artists like TobyMac and Skillet are two examples of this, as they may have Christian lyrics, but their music is worldly and of the devil. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." - 1 John 2:15 An Unsaved man who listens to Satanic music will burn in hell for all eternity, because they did not believe in Christ. A Saved man who listens to Satanic music, will not burn in hell, but will answer to God one day. Then another day, every knee will bow to the great white throne, which God will judge everyone who ever lived. Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life (so basically the unsaved) will burn in the lake of fire, which is the second death.
Rock/Metal is the Devils Music

Hello. I will accept your challenge. But of course. Firstly you must prove beyond any doubt, the existence of a god and the existence of a devil. It's the same old problem. Making such profound claims. Backed up by what is and always has been, a totally unsubstantiated notion of the existence of supernatural fantasy figures. Sound is a universal reality. Sound does not need human justification. Music is simply the manipulation of sound. We have been manipulating sound for many millennia. Long before we decide that we needed a god and a devil to account for all that we didn't understand.
Rock/Metal is the Devils Music

Did you know, that nearly every single musical act that was around since the 1950s, was of the devil? That's right demons! Musical acts such as Metallica, AC/DC, and Iron Maiden, were all created by the influence of Satan, and are the Devil's Spawn. In fact, even Christian bands such as Casting Crowns and Third Day, are of the devil. Music was not created to please the world, and make evil atheists and satanists happy. It was meant to Glorify God. Anyone who listens to the devil's music, is not glorifying God, and praising the devil. For years, this was pretty much how it was, until one man changed everything. That man, was Aleister Crowley. He had promoted Satanism, and his beliefs, had spread across the world, and influenced every act, to make music to glorify and praise both the devil, and mankind, completely ruining the music industry. The Beatles included Aleister Crowley on the album cover for Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles were also influenced by Adolf Hitler, and the Devil. The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Queen also wrote satanic acts to praise the devil. A lot of people liked the music because they liked the style. This is obviously Satan luring good Christians into the works of the flesh, the devil's spawn. As for Christian acts like Casting Crowns, and Third Day, their satanic philosophy, includes taking the style of wordly music, and adding Christian lyrics. This music isn't really Christian, because the scriptures explicitly state to despise the world, which are the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life. This does not do that, and it is a sin to listen to Casting Crowns and Third Day. Now if you aren't convinced that the music is of the devil, I will talk about some satanic songs written by artists. 1. Holy Diver - Dio - This song is about the devil, whom which they call "Holy". The Dive was his descend to hell. The Devil Worshippers behind this song hope for Satan to escape hell, which he cannot. 2. Master of Puppets - Metallica - The creators of this song had lied about it being an anti-drug song, which breaks one of the ten commandments "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor". The real purpose of this song was Satan brainwashing men into thinking that God is evil, by "How I'm Killing You" while it's Satan being the evil one, and God is holy. 3. The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden - It's simple. The Song is about Devil Worship. 4. The Red Hot Chili Peppers said in an interview "First of all, We'd like to thank Satan". This makes them satanic. No Christian should listen to this devil's music.
People arent necessary!

Yeah and I'm a cat, we all wish and hope, don't get false hope. For everything there is a season and now is the season for humans, dinosaurs season is over. Live in the now and don't discriminate the humans we are necessary. We help the Earth thrive on the inside even though at first glance it may seem we destroy it. Humans are necessary and we all know it so face the facts and stop hiding from the truth.
There should not be a curfew for people 16 and up

I believe that they should not because their brains are not fully developed.(1) Most teenagers do not get enough sleep.(2) Curfews are the tool that lets teenagers get the necessary sleep that they need. If they do not get the 9 hours of sleep that they need brain damage can occur.(3)(4) (1)http://www.mybrainfacts.com... (2)http://www.education.com... (3)http://www.newscientist.com... (4)http://kidshealth.org...
There should not be a curfew for people 16 and up

There should be curfews but only for those that are 15 and under. This is because they are less responsible and therefore should not be allowed after 10 without adult supervision. Those that are 16 and are practically adults anyway and some work until 11 or possibly later so they should not have a curfew because it can keep them from being able to work. Also they are practically adults already so it should not matter. Curfew is a touchy topic but I think that my way stated above would fine with most other people.
Atheism is true, god is not

My opponent has said that god is real, but he hasn't given me the question I've always wondered from people who believe: what proof is there? The only reason people even believe in god is because thousands of years ago someone said that there's a god out there. Then, a new religion started. But, what proof was there? And, even if they did have proof, what's to trust about it? It was told over 2,000 years ago when people thought the Earth was flat, and that the sun was a chariot which flew around us. Also, I have three more reasons why god isn't real: 1. If god is real and if god helped write the bible, then why does he think slavery is right, why does he think we should kill homosexuals, oppress woman? 2. Think about other religions. How is god real and not Allah, or the Greek Gods, or the Egyptian gods. 3. Jesus said that he will answer all of our prayers. But how come this doesn't happen?
Atheism is true, god is not

I will first define what god actually is before we begin this debate. I will define god in the classical theistic sense. A being who is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and is the creator of the universe. If my opponent has any problem with this definition I ask him to clarify in a comment so as to not waste rounds on semantics. Atheism can be defined as the belief that the phrase, "There is a god" is false. When mentioning atheism we may refer to strong atheism as opposed to weak atheism as my opponent has flat out said "god is fake".Now I will respond to my opponent's three arguments for why god does not exist. 1. He hasn't appeared in modern daysThis does not actually prove that god does not exist. Proving a negative is logically impossible. Rather, one could say that god is simply waiting for something or is acting on the world in ways which we cannot see yet because of the huge gaps in current human knowledge. If no one hears from me or sees me for a couple of years then it would make sense to believe that I was dead. However, this by itself would not definitely prove that I am dead. I may be living as a hermit in the Sahara desert for all you know. 2. There is no proof that he existsThis fact by itself would definitely support weak atheism, the position of simply non-belief in god or gods, but my opponent has made the bold assertion that "god is fake". My opponent is arguing for strong atheism and as so, hard evidence will be needed, not simply lack of evidence. What this arguments is is simply an argument from ignorance. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. 3. It would defy our laws of scienceBy definition, god is above the laws of science as he is the creator of them. God is expected to defy these and he would not be god if he abided by them.The resolution has been negated and thus I urge a Con vote.
Atheism is true, god is not

I believe, and many stand beside me, that god is fake. This has been questioned by thousands and millions for centuries, ever since the Ancient Greeks. The reason many people believe in god is because that's how they were brought up, and it was how i was brought up, but yet I knew, I knew that it was false. I want to see if someone can try to win this debate. Because I want to see if anyone has any actual proof that he exists. Here are three reasons why he isn't real 1. He hasn't appeared in modern days 2. There is no proof that he exists 3. It would defy our laws of science
Atheism is true, god is not

My opponent has said that believing in god is the same as believing in santa clause. Also, it's ok to believe in unicorns, leprechauns and every mythical creature. My opponent is correct in his summarization of my opinion on belief in god. I am not defending belief, rather I am defending weak atheism. My opponent must successfully defend strong atheism(prove beyond a doubt that god does not exist) and he has not. Plus, if god were real, why would he let the world get into such a terrible state? My opponent has again brought a new argument. I will respond with the fact that god as defined is of complete moral perfection. If he exists then nothing he can do can be immoral by definition. Also, try praying. Has anyone ever answered your prayers? And if so, does he only grant some and not all? My opponent tries to leave out the option that god simply does not want to answer certain prayers or that through tragedy, god may help the world. Try calling anyone on the planet. Look up someone's phone number in the phone book and call them. If they don't pick up does that automatically mean that they don't exist? Of course not. Again my opponent provides grounds for weak atheism but not strong atheism which is what he is advocating.
Atheism is true, god is not

My opponent has said that believing in god is the same as believing in santa clause. Also, it's ok to believe in unicorns, leprechauns and every mythical creature. Plus, if god were real, why would he let the world get into such a terrible state? Global warming, world war 2, world war 1, so many terrible things and yet he's done absolutely nothing. Also, try praying. Has anyone ever answered your prayers? And if so, does he only grant some and not all? How weird! God can't exist because look at the facts. This argument is only here right now because people in the past believed in god, so now you believe in god, because you've heard how great god is. In my opinion, atheists are the ones with the questions. The ones that say, "Hmm, this sounds very weird and stupid. " So that is my argument against god.
Atheism is true, god is not

My opponent has again dropped his three arguments from last round and provided three new ones for me to refute. Gods were created a long time ago by people who believed the earth was flat. My opponent claims that because the concept of god became popular before the various scientific revolutions of history, the idea cannot be trusted and thus this proves that god does not exist. At best this brings the concept of god into question but by no means supports strong atheism as my opponent must do to win this debate. This is simply an ad hominem argument. All my opponent is doing is attacking the people who believe in god and not the actual idea of god. To believe in god, you cannot believe in science. My opponent seems to believe that to believe in god you must believe in a human soul, an afterlife, and disbelieve in the big bang theory. These are all straw man arguments as I have said none of these things. Belief in the god that I am advocating does not necessitate belief in an afterlife or a human soul. These two things can also not be disproven. To say that these two things cannot exist is an argument from ignorance. Also, many people who believe in god also believe in the big bang theory. God is simply seen as the cause of the big bang. He is the prime mover,Believing in god is the same as believing in Santa Clause. My opponent has not proven that belief in Santa Clause is unreasonable or disproven through lack of evidence. This is the same argument from ignorance which my opponent has tried to use to disprove god's existence. At best this supports weak atheism or weak Clausism, not absolute sureness that there is no god or that there is no Santa Clause.
Atheism is true, god is not

I didn't realize what my opponent meant back there as a definition of god, but now I do, so I will give yet another three reasons to prove that any god is not real 1. All the gods were created back over 2,000 years ago because they needed an explanation for things. They still thought the Earth was flat 2. Believing in a god basically means you don't believe in science, that we've gotten nowhere. In religions with a god, he created the earth, but what about the big bang theory. Also, we have no souls, which partly relates to a god, since most religions with god have afterlife. A human is power by chemicals, no soul in the mix. 3. Look at it from another perspective. If I told you Santa Clause was real, you wouldn't believe it. If you questioned me about how his sleigh gets around, I would say by reindeer. I could think of an answer to every question you asked, because there's no proof that he's not real, and there's no proof that he isn't. You could say the same about vampires, trolls, zombies, leprechauns, and yet someone ho believed could give answers to it.
Atheism is true, god is not

My opponent has not responded to my refutations of his arguments from last round and thus we may assume that he has conceded these. My opponent has also tried to shift the BOP on to me even as he is instigator and Pro of this debate. It is my responsibility to disprove any arguments which Pro brings, I do not have to necessarily show why god exists. I will not move on to my opponent's next three "proofs" for why there is no god. 1. If god is real and if god helped write the bible, then why does he think slavery is right, why does he think we should kill homosexuals, oppress woman?Believing that god is real and that god helped write the Bible are two very different things. Also according to my definition of god which my opponent has not disputed, god may be the divinity of any major monotheistic religion or none of them. My definition does not specify any religion.Also, even if the god I am advocating had helped to write the Bible, if he is real then he is the pillar of moral perfection and thus whatever he believes to be right is objectively right. My opponent has not shown why slavery is wrong, why women should not be oppressed, or why homosexuals should not be killed. 2. Think about other religions. How is god real and not Allah, or the Greek Gods, or the Egyptian gods.I am not specifically defending the god of Christianity as my opponent thinks I am. I defined the god I would be defending in R1 as a being who is, "all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and is the creator of the universe." I asked my opponent to say something if he had a problem with the definition and he did not.Now according to my definition, god could be the divinity of Christianity or Islam. The Greek and Egyptian gods do not fit the definition of god and so they cannot be one and the same.3. Jesus said that he will answer all of our prayers. But how come this doesn't happen?Again, I am not specifically advocating the existence of Jesus as being divine or that the god that exists is the Christian god. The Muslim god also fits my definition and thus has the same chance of existing if there was a god as the Christian god. I am advocating the existence of a being with the attributes of moral perfection, unlimited power, possessing all knowledge, and being the originator and creator of the universe.I urge a Con vote and wait for my opponent's response.
Someone will get there "panties in a wad" over this debate!

My opponent has not made any further points in favor of the resolution, which is to say she has not made any points at all in favor of the resolution this entire debate. She has wholly failed in her duty as PRO, and she failed to give legitimate responses to any of my arguments. Allow me, before I finish, to point something out to the readers. You're not voting on whether you think someone is annoyed or not. Often, voters make that mistake in meta-debates like this one. You're supposed to be voting for who made their case better. Even if everyone who views this debate gets annoyed, it's still a fact that I made more convincing arguments than my opponent, because where my opponent didn't even TRY to say "the resolution is true because X," I gave reasons why the resolution was not true.
Someone will get there "panties in a wad" over this debate!

I'm sorry that you can not back up anything anymore because you dont want this to be on the frount page! !! !if you didn't want it on the frount page then why did you take the debate i could be debateing againist someone so much better and someone who would keep debateing til the end! !! !
