Scyrone (me) is God.

there's no evidence of any of the stuff you claim. if you had followers who had miracles occur to them to the exclusion of nonbelievers of you, or had atheists convert to you when they had near death experiences, then you would have a case. as it is, you have nothing. also, to say you did all that is a very specific thing... it's completely arbitrary. to say some intelligence made us... not relegating God to some sort of man in the sky... is not specific and so is different than God. you have a point... it's somewhat analogos.. that it's not necessarily the case that that intelligence made us and in a sense is random... but it's not fully analogous because intelligence is at least plausible. that you did all that is ludicris and random, albeit admittedly there's a degree i even have to accept hat this might be true. it's all about how you look at the analogy of inteeligence v you. you're entitled to say your point is made, but i insist the disimilarites in the arguments far outweight the similarities.

Definitions. Prior to responding to my opponents statement, it is important to define "retarded". After intense research, the definition of retard is "cause to move more slowly or operate at a slower rate, delayed". Argument: A fish cannot gallop, vote con. A delay cannot shift, a person shifts, such as a clutch. Vote con. My opponent has not defined the world he speaks of. Naria, a make believe world, may be flat. Unless he states the guard rails and specifies "earth" in the title of this debate, any world, even make believe ones would defeat his argument. Vote Con. Mushrooms grow on the ground, airplines land on the ground. How are they NOT related? ? My opponent has not met his burden of proof and I have defeated all of his arguments.
The majority of the people on this site are retarded

In spite of the experiences many of us have had in debate, discussion and quarrel this site is proving to have a very low bar for admittance, and no qualifications for debating any topic, including basic comprehension skills. To some this may seem like a great advantage or feature of the site, but for the intellectual few, having a debate where you end up discussing entirely unrelated concepts is quite frustrating. Typical argument styles include the gish gallop, moving the goal post and shifting (if not even understanding) the burden of proof. My opponent has to argue that the world is flat, oranges are pink and an airplane landing is a lot like a mushroom, while i accept the burden of proof here and tell her that her interpretations of the facts on her case are wrong. This is a real debate http://www.youtube.com...

To quote a wise man: " being part of a debater is to be able to understand language and use it to your advantage. Many debates are won exclusively in the realm of semantics and language. This is an accepted part of debate, words are important. If you craft the resolution in a way that allows you to be trapped in a semantic loss, that's on you and your opponent would be foolish not to capitalize on it." Majority could mean above age 18. Thus, people over 18 are always late. I would argue that quite a few cheerleaders in the midwest are "late" after a romp under the bleachers. I still like horses. Since con hasn't stated what majority means, I win. Fish are yummy. Vote Pron

Your conduct is abysmal. Rather than discussing the topic at hand, you are insulting me with meat head insults. Just because I have an a** on my head doesn't mean I eat potatoes. I'm assuming your reference to light means that you prefer white meat to dark. In either case, the constitution says that you can't call people meat heads. [2] Your citations are in improper format. Bluebook or Chicago manual styling is necessary prior to me responding. And I think Jane Austin was a lesbian which is against genesis. vote con. [2] https://litigation-essentials.lexisnexis.com...

Well since you put it that way, i think i have to use some citations. Since you aren't using proper citation i must say that Genesis 1:1 (ESV) And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

PC Gaming is better than console gaming

To begin, I'd like to start with the ease of access. For one, mainstream consoles are very easy to come by. You can buy them at almost any large retail store. I. e. GameStop, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. It's no question that there is no real abundance of computer or parts stores, you may dig up enough parts to make one in town, but it's not easy. I'm not going to sit here and say that building a PC is hard, either, because it's not. However, the only way to procure PC parts easily is online, where I would much rather be able to get what I need in town. Best Buy traditionally sells RAM, Hard Drives, and Power Supplies on storefront, but not all the parts needed for a full build, they only really sell the parts that need to be replaced most frequently. Also, parts do break or go out much more frequently in a PC, where on consoles the RAM, Graphics, and CPU are all integrated into the motherboard. Graphics processing is also powerful and available for much cheaper on consoles. For example, the NVidia GTX 1060 Graphics Card just barely out performs the PS4 Pro by 0.2 TFLOPS, but costs more than the PS4 Pro, which says a lot seeing as the PS4 Pro is every part needed in one box and the 1060 is just the graphics card. Another example would be the 1070 that just barely out performs the XBOX One X by 0.5 TFLOPS and is almost $100 more expensive, which, again, that's only the graphics card, not the rest of the PC.

PC Gaming is better than console gaming

I would like you to start first. Before you use certain arguments I will admit that console does better in these areas: Console is easier to set up when getting started Console is cheaper when getting started (BUT COSTS MORE IN THE LONG RUN) Console has slightly better co-op features with split-screen I do not count Nintendo in this argument, you should be a fan of the Xbox One, PS4, or both to argue. Thank you.
Does God predestine who goes to heaven.

My opponent appears to have thrown in the town, abandoned his post, fled the battlefield, gone the way of France, etc.In conclusion, the very word, "predestined" hows up both in Romans 8 and in Ephesians 1. It is used in the context of salvation. Therefore, God does predestine who goes to haven. Moreover, I have shown from John 6 and John 10 that whether a person is saved or not depends entirely on God's choice. God gives people to Jesus, and as a result of that giving, people to to Christ for salvation, and Christ successfully raises to eternal life all of those who are so given. Therefore, God predestines who goes to heaven.Thank you for coming to tonight's debate. Please take a copy of "The Institutes of the Christian Religion" on your way out.
Does God predestine who goes to heaven.

Your verse on predestination is a good one, but I argue the verse is talking about people who are called in a different manner such as becoming a pastor or missionary. I am not sure. The problem is that there are also verses that contradict that verse such as: 31 Timothy 2:3-6 this is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires ALL people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for ALL, which is the testimony given fat the proper time. Hebrews 2:9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for EVERYONE. Matthew 18:14 so it is NOT the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 1 John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD. These verses prove that God wants everyone to be saved and this is His will. He died for the whole world, why in the world would he send Christ to die for the whole world if everything is predetermined. He would then just die for the predestined.
Does God predestine who goes to heaven.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume I'm debating with a Christian who takes their doctrine from the Bible. With that assumption in mind, I'll make my arguments.All of Con's arguments can be answered with one passage, namely Romans 8:28-30. It reads:"And we know that God causes all things to work toegether for the good of those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he forknew, he also predestined to become conformed to the image of his son, so that he would be the firstborn among many brethren. And these whom he predestined, he also called; and these whom he called, he also justified, and these whom he justified, he also glorified."If you read this passage carefully, you can see an unbreakable chain from those who are called to those who are glorified. The chain goes likes this:Foreknew-->predestined-->called-->justified-->glorifiedSo anybody who is predestined is glorified. Anybody who is called is glorified. If it were true that God called all people, it would follow that all people are justified and all people are glorified. But there are some people who are not justified, which we know because there are some people who will not be saved. It follows that not all are glorified, not all are justified, not all are called, not all are predestined, and not all are forknown.This one passage establishes that God does predestine who goes to heaven. It says so right there in Romans 8:28-30. It even uses the word "predestined."The doctrine of predestinatin is also taught in Ephesians 1:3-14."Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as he chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before him. In love, he predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the king intention of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace which he lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight, he made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his kind intention which he purposed in him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullnes of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in heavens and things on earth. In him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to his purpose who works all things after the counsel of his will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of his glory. In him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory."This doctrine if taught in various other parts of the Bible, but I don't want to overwhelm anybody.
Does God predestine who goes to heaven.

I argue that God allows us to choose whether or not to follow Him and be saved. He calls ALL through the Holy Spirit and we can choose whether or not if we want to follow Him. God is love. If being saved is predestined, I argue that this is not love. God says we are created in His image, so I assert that we know what love is since God says He is love and that we are created in his image. I know that I would not birth children to only predestine them to hell. No loving person would do this. How can people be better than God? We aren't! We are made in His image and know what love is. Predestining people to hell is not love. God calls ALL and we can choose whether to follow. He already knows what we will do, but this does not mean that he makes it happen. People are not programmed in advance to choose one way or the other. God wants us to choose Him since that is a true portrayal of what love is. God is all powerful, but he doesn't abuse this power and make people into robots. He loves us all and wants us to follow Him on our own.
Death Battle: My character vs Yours

Yeah, this is the problem with death battles allowing you to pick a character. A smart person usually picks one superior to mine. Observation of The Flash: Strength; Force = Mass x Speed. The faster someone is punching, the more force the punch will hit with. Speed; There's a reason he's called The Flash. His reaction timing and speed is powerful, to say the least. Durability; The Flash does have an increased healing factor. Not to mention his reaction timing and speed would dodge any of Volga's attacks anyways. Abilities; Sadly, The Flash can't fly. Chances are, if Volga is able to, he might fly away. Or try to roast The Flash by flying, and shooting fire. (He still probably won't hit Flash) So yeah. Volga wanted a tough competition? Good game, he got his wish. You think Volga is superior to Flash? Say why in your vote. If I don't find a vote convincing, whether for me or Con, it will probably be removed. Until then, I concede that I'll stick to pre-chosen Death Battles.
Death Battle: My character vs Yours

a truly worthy opponent of the great flash strength: yet the flash lacks in pure strength and does not use any weapons most of his abilities relays on his speed and abilities so Volga shamelessly wins this category. speed: it has been seen in the comics that he has went faster than the speed of light in other words faster than 650000000 miles per hour meaning he can go faster than the speed of light in other words he can travel through time abilities: the key thing that will allow the flash to rain supreme, first he can travel through time manipulating it to his will, he as accelerated healing, phasing or going through objects, super human stamina and reaction speed/reflexes, and as abnormal thinking speeds and deduction faster than super computers, and also can manipulate and alter lighting to his will. exception(only added if you agree to it) if he had his team and came prepared his team would have found the majority of his weaknesses and prepared the flash for any danger. i still did not give the full justice of the great flash now lets see how Volga would react to such a powerful opponent ;)
Death Battle: My character vs Yours

I wlecome Con to the site, and I hope he chooses to stay on the site after this debate.My character is the Dragon Knight, Volga, from Hyrule Warriors. Here's his stats:Strength: Volga hasn't been shown to have incredible strength, but he's pretty powerful. He wields the Dragonbone Pike, which is a type of spear. He can do powerful attacks, such as thrusting it into the ground, creating a small, but powerful, explosion where the Pike strikes. Also, he can charge at his opponents, dealing a lot of damage.Speed: Volga runs at a normal human speed. I'll concede The Flash is faster by a lot.Durability: Volga can take quite a few strong blows from various bosses like Gohma, King Dodongo, and even Ganon.Abilities: Okay, I admit I didn't state a whole lot of amazing stats, but he has quite a few abilities. He is able to transform parts of his body into a dragon's, such as claws, sprouting wings, or even becoming a full on dragon! He's also able to breathe fire, even outside of his dragon form. If nessicary, Volga can unleash the Focus Spirit technique, increasing his speed and attack power by 1.3x (This is just an estimate; a guess).With this, let's see how Volga compares to The Flash.
Death Battle: My character vs Yours

This is a battle to the death. You may choose any character, as long as it doesn't go against the rules.Rules:1. Your character must be able to die, since you can't kill an immortal being.2. There must be at least 3 ways to kill your chosen character (Superman requires kryptonite to die, so you can't choose him.)3. Your character can be from a movie, or video game.4. You may only choose 1 character, unless it's a pair, such as Jak and Daxter.4. Trolling, kritiks, semantics, etc, are forbidden. If I identify any trolling, I will win.5. I won't abuse rule #4. However, if Con is trying to protect an obvious troll, voters will catch him out on this, and I win.6. The battle field is a 100ftx100ftx75ft arena on Earth, so no homefield advantage will be present.7. Both Pro and Con are free to ask for evidence proving a claim made by the opponent. However, evidence is not needed if it seems like common knowledge, such as Link carries the Master Sword.8. No hiding information until Round 4, since I cannot refute such late points.9. Forfeiting even a single round will result in an automatic loss.Trolling includes:1. Any bias for any character (ex: Mario is famous, therefore gets a biased victory).2. Some joke attempting to be an argument (ex: A silly dance is not an attack.)3. Choosing 2 or more characters to get an advantage. (If you want to choose a pair, ask me in the comments to see if it's an actual pair.)4. Any reinforcements, whether expected or not. (ex: Your character is Pikachu and Team Rocket out of nowhere)5. Nitpicking at every small detail.[Am I missing something? Is it too much? If so, please tell me. I think those are all of the trolling that could happen.]Required Stats:To effectively decide the victor, there will be 4 stats we will need to discuss.Strength: How strong the character is.Speed: How fast the character is.Durability: How much damage the character can take in combat.Abilities: What the character is capable of doing, such as transformation, elemental powers, etc.I won't say my character until Round 2. My opponent can choose to introduce his/her character Round 1, but won't give arguments until Round 2.However, I will give a hint to my character: He's always looking for a tough warrior.
Abortion

So now you are saying that if the baby is outside of the womb, then we cant kill it? But if it is inside, then we can? Even though there are no biological difference 1 day before the woman gives birth, and 1 day after you still think that it should be the deciding factor if the baby gets to live or not? Condoms do break yes, but if a condom breaks, how does that give someone the right to kill someone? One event like this can not justify a crime. If the baby does not want to be killed, it should not be killed. Sadly there are no way for us to ask the baby if it wants to live or not, therefore there is no consent, and there is no right to kill another human being.
Abortion

If the baby is not breathing when it comes out of the womb, then no you do not have the right to kill it, but that is far from the same thing. When the baby is outside of the womb then I consider it to be an independent life. If the parent would not have money to support their kids, then no, they would still not have the right to kill them. But again, that is far from the same thing. Condoms also break sometimes. Forcing a woman to become pregnant.
Abortion

Your question: Do you think that a raped 14 year old girl would be able to provide food, shelter, water and more to her baby? Answer: No I don't think that a 14 year old girl would be able to provide this, but the same thing can be said about homeless people, they can not afford food, shelter or water for their kids, but they don't have the right to kill them do they? My questions: what if the baby is not breathing when it comes out of the womb? Would the woman still have the right to kill it? If the parents don't have money to support their kids, do they have the right to kill them?
Abortion

You did not answer my question: Do you think that a raped 14 year old girl would be able to provide food, shelter, water and more to her baby? Rape does justify abortion. We need to have a little sympathy for the girl that got raped. She would have to live 9 months with it, it is taking her energy as a human and the only reason that the baby is alive is because of the woman. Don't you have any sympathy for the woman?
Abortion

If you think that the baby not a life until it is breathing, then what if the baby is not breathing when it comes out of the womb? Would you still have the right to kill it? Rape is no excuse for murder/abortion. Rape is a bad thing, but just because someone got raped, does not mean that the woman can start killing babies. It sounded like you wanted all abortions to be legal, but yet you are using the rape argument. Less then 1% of all abortions are because of rape ( https://www.operationrescue.org... ). Now you are using a really small example in order to make all examples sound okay. But its not, rape is bad, killing babies is bad. Rape does not justify killing babies. My question: what if the baby is not breathing when it comes out of the womb? Would the woman still have the right to kill it?
Abortion

I agree with your statement. If the baby would be another life then yes, it would be murderer. I believe that the baby is considered a life when it is breathing on its own. Because it is by then that it can continue to live on its own. But what if a 14 year old girl would be raped? A pregnancy is a huge responsibility. A child has basic needs: food, shelter, water, and health care. On top of these things, a child also needs attention, love, and support. Do you think that a 14 year old girl can provide that?
Depopulation is not a conspiracy theory.

1. Okay, the Federal Reserve should be dissolved. I knew this 20 years ago. But what is the title and opening statement of this debate? ****"Depopulation is not a conspiracy theory. Depopulation is a concerted and organized endeavor. The trick is to keep producing tobacco products, alcohol, legalize drugs and push pharmaceuticals, keep sugar and fat contents high in foods so we "appear" to have killed ourselves. The most important aspect is to keep us calm and stupid."**** 2, 3. As a former teacher I'm aware of the truth of the education system. How does this connect the dots to "Depopulation is a concerted and organized endeavor." (2nd link server unavailable). 4, 5, 6, An Aaron Russo video again. Though some of what he has to say is contentious and other things make sense, this is aside from the topic at hand. We can both agree that greed, big corporations and the finance industry runs the country and the US imperialistic polices is spreading throughout the world for the purpose of profit. I'll also admit and will add that US and European nations are in the Middle East for control of oil and to force these countries to join the World Bank to spread its global economic agenda. How does this apply to a systematic depopulation plan? 7. What does the Patriot Act have to do with a planned genocide. 7a. Oh, you mean this 926 page document https://www.gpo.gov... I think if you actually read the document it you'll find the real truth to the matter. Somewhere around pg.426 there is a section called Detainee Matters. This does not apply to US citizens or resident legal aliens. This also pertains to the Military Court System, not the US judiciary. There is absolutely nothing regarding depopulation or mass incarcerations in this document. 8. National Defense Resources Preparedness: No subject matter relating to depopulation here either. 9. And the rest: SystemsNicaragua, I really have yet to see any burden of proof on your part that supports, in the smallest of details, your original debate premise. There has been no rebuttal on your part on the economic advantageousness of depopulation, population statistics or goods consumption. I truly feel I have wasted my time with this debate. Your end game was revealed in your final statements; driving traffic to your blog.
