The god of the bible does not exist

Backwardseden’s ad-hominem attacksI was disappointed to see that Backwardseden starts his closing statement with nearly 350 words of name-calling and ad-hominem attacks. Whilst it’s easy to see why this should cost him points for conduct (calling your opponent a ‘dildo’ is hardly good debate etiquette) it should also be a consideration when judging the quality of his arguments. When people resort to screeds so personal abuse it is normally a sign that they have little else to offer – whilst it’s easy to get distracted by Backwardseden’s poor conduct let’s not overlook the fact it’s often done to coverup the fact he doesn’t know how to respond to his opponent’s points. Thus, All my arguments remain unrefuted. Backwardseden’s new argumentBackwardseden uses his closing statement to bring one brand new argument to the table: “Your god would come on down and talk to each and every person on earth to avoid text altogether. ” I disagree; firstly, The God of the Bible values community (e. G 1 Timothy 4:13) and would therefore favour the most collective and communal form of communication available. Secondly, The God of the Bible wants people to willingly accept his existence (John 3:3) and would therefore favour the least coercive form of communication. I therefore submit to you that Backwardseden is wrong in asserting that “text is the worst form of communication possible. ” Spelling & GrammarI concede that spelling is not my strong point – I tend to type quickly and spend most of my time focusing on the substance of my arguments. Therefore, I will agree to this; if anybody is willing to sit through and fairly judge this debate on all four criteria then I am more than happy for them to vote for Backwardseden in this category. Credit due where credit deserved. My main argumentIn my opening post I presented my main argument. Having had the chance to debate it with Backwardseden I would like to now re-present my main argument in it’s final and updated form: 1. Bible verses, Backed up by chapters and verses, Are the only form of evidence permitted in this debate (rule 4 "Chapters and verses only please") Backwardseden has had plenty of opportunity to correct me if my understanding of this rule is incorrect. 2. Therefore, To prove to Backwardseden that the God of the Bible exists I must provide some Bible verses which backup my claim and demonstrate that the version of God presented in the Bible is logically consistent. 3. There are numerous verses in the Bible that suggest God exists (1 Timothy 2:5, Ephesians 4:6, Deuteronomy 4:35, Nehemiah 9:6, 1 Chronicles 17:20)4. Backwardseden has failed to find any significant inconsistencies in the Bible5. Premises 3 & 4 meet the criteria found in premise 2 of my argument. 6. Therefore, I have proven to Backwardseden that the God of the Bible exists. And finally. . . Finally, I would like to remind everyone that this debate was conducted using six rules set out by Backwardseden in his opening round. Once you strip out anything from this debate which doesn’t adhere to these rules, I believe that you have no choice but to vote for me as the winner. Thank you for taking the time and having the patience to read this debate right through to the end.
