Religion is a force for good in the world.

Though in a debate the instigator may dictate initial conditions upon a topic, once the debate begins, the instigator certainly cannot rule what are admissible arguments and what are inadmissible arguments by the contender. I'm not debating for the purpose of making a contract with my opponent, nor I'm I looking for support from my opponent. My only contention is to persuade the voters that my arguments are better upon this topic than his. My opponent has said that my third premise is not acceptable because it leads to an infallible argument. Recalling my third premise, it states; "Judeo-Christian religion is of three elements: Sanctuary of the Church, Administration Offices of the Church, Congregation of the Church. All three elements can be corrupted at any time. Any corrupt element of the Church at any time is disassociated from Judeo-Christian religion." However, my third premise, answers the crucial question that religious piety is not a continuous function. For example: I may donate $20.00 to the homeless in the morning because I'm influenced by a pastoral sermon; but, that same night, I may get into a fight because of the influence of alcohol. I was pious in the morning, but failed to be pious at night. Judeo-Christians have numerous failing moments as much as they have numerous pious moments. This leads to my fifth premise: Religious piety is based only on those efforts of devotion to Judeo-Christian doctrine. For example, from my opponent's list of attributed religious wrong doings; it can be found that it is not the result of Judeo-Christian piety: 1.) The Crusades = Not totally inspired by holy enthusiasm, some hoped to win military glory, others new lands, still others hoped to open new trade routes and control economic markets. 2.) The Inquisition = Crimes against the Roman Catholic Holy Office of State. Judeo-Christian doctrine is not associated with State Worship (listed in my first premise), especially when corrupted (my third premise). 3.) The forced conversion of indigenous peoples around the world = Inspired by greed, as in the case of Conquistador Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire because of his lust for gold. 4.) The persecution of the Jews and the accusation that they are responsible for "deicide." = the result of Nazism, and practice of bigotry. Bigotry is not part of Judeo-Christian doctrine, and besides Judeo-Christianity teachings are that Jesus Christ died for everyone's sins, so everyone is guilty for Jesus Christ suffering. At the time of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, the Jewish State Offices were corrupt partly because of Roman occupation. 5.) The oppression and mistreatment of women (half the human race) = In what sense, if Judeo-Christian scripture emphases the participation of women as witnessing to Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection? 6.) Slavery in the United States and largely in Britain = Inspired by greed and economic gain. Certainly, The gospel song "Amazing Grace" written by a slave trader on his ship was a pious moment. Even though, the writer of "Amazing Grace" failed to continue in his pious ways by continuing to profit off the slave trade. Also, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", the most influential book on American politics, was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe on the bases that slavery was religiously unmoral. 7.) The burning (and other forms of torture) of "witches," "heretics," "dissenters," and anyone else the church saw fit = Caused by the fear of voodoo. At the time, Church officials concluded the mass hysteria of church members was responsible for the death of innocent people (premise three-corruption of the congregation). 8.) The psychological torture of children through the threat of eternal punishment in hell = The result of not teaching scripture correctly upon the difference of sin & wickedness, a form of corruption within the congregation....its the same failing principle as when a secular parent tells their children "If your not good, the police will come, and take you to Jail." 9.) The systematic rape and torture of young children by the Catholic Church = Will my opponent be arguing this tragedy as being a pious acts of priests in the name of Jesus Christ? Objectively, does anyone think that the rape of a child is a devote practice of worshiping the divinity of Jesus Christ? This act was corruption within the sanctuary of the church by priests (premise three). 10.) The Pope forbidding the use of condoms in Africa and other less-developed countries = Invalid point by my opponent because it is an assumed secular judgement as to the morality of the use of condoms? 11.) Manifest Destiny = Invalid point by my opponent because it is an assumed secular judgement that Judeo-Christian teachings are false. As I said before, Judeo-Christian religion is like three diamonds buried underneath a mountain of the world's garbage; find those diamonds, then mankind has something worth more than all the world's garbage those three diamonds were buried under.
