Questions for Christians

Terribly sorry, I have been awfully busy. I have looked at these questions, and my opponent has really made me think about this. In terms of Question 29: I think that I would believe in God to less of a degree. I think Buddhism would perhaps make more sense. I really need to think this over. Anyway, thank you for these questions. This has been interesting. I don't think that this would count as a debate, so please don't vote on this.End
Questions for Christians

Hello, I'll jump right into the questions: 1) Is Anne Frank in hell ? 2) How about other kids? If a boy dies at age 3, and he comes from a Muslim family, does he go to hell? 3) How can you be sure Ra (Egyptian God and the first monotheistic one) doesn't exist? 4) According to Christianity, hell is for non-Christians, and is supposed to be a very evil place, to make people suffer. It doesn't matter what they did. It doesn't matter what they believed, it doesn't matter who they really were. It's just like Hitler's death and concentration camps. Do you think it's moral to believe in a Nazi God ? 5) What is your #1 reason you believe in the Christian God? 6) If non-Christians go to hell anyway, does it matter what they do with their lives? Can you see an old Islamic man raising money to help the poor people in the neighborhood and say: what does it matter, he's going to hell anyway? 7) Do mountains have a life meaning? How about monkeys? How about babies? 8) Do you have non-Christian friends or loved ones? If no, why? If yes, how can you believe in a religion that tells you these are evil people who will be going to hell? 9) Are earthquakes, tornadoes, accidents etc. are caused by God? And if yes, why are there earthquakes, tornadoes and accidents? 10) If God has a master plan, why bother praying? 11) Does God talk or talked to you? 12) If god told you to kill your son/daughter/mother, would you do it? 13) If god told you to kill me, would you do it? 14) If you were born in Syria, do you think you would be a Muslim or a Christian? 15) If someone would have hurt you, would you hurt him or his newborn child? Because God, according to the bible, punished David's newborn son, because David slept with his mother while married to another man. (some claim he even raped her).
Questions for Christians

Hello, This won't be a classical debate, but will be a series of 35 questions to a Christian that will apply, and accepts these foundations for himself: -I believe in God -I am a Christian -I think everything the bible says is true -I believe in heaven and hell -I believe heaven is reached through salvation (meaning only believing Christians go to heaven and all believing Christians go to heaven) -I believe Christianity is moral. I am an atheist, and I am trying to understand the Christian logic and morality, and I would thank very much whoever accepts this debate.
Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world!

http://www.youtube.com...I'm sorry, do you live in the U.S.A? We have a saying here:Baseball season is over! Now we get to watch football! Sh!t, football only on Sundays? That's O.K, we have basketball! Off-day for your favorite team? HOCKEY.Nowhere does it ever say soccer. Also, you failed to note any of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's statistics, so I can not refute any of your arguments. Allow me to post some real arguments...--Argument 1: Statistics-- Lebron James is the single best basketball player and player overall in the world. And the statistics prove that. In every single stat, LBJ is on top. Let's take a look. (Source: http://www.basketball-reference.com...)Games played: 78 per year (out of 81)Minutes played: 3,000 per year, led league 2 times.Shots made: 775 per year, led league 4 times.FG%: 50% (Finishes in top ten each of last 3 years)Three pointers: 110 per yearTwo pointers: 675 per year (finished in top ten each of last 3 years)Free throws: 480 per year, led league onceRebounds: 575 per year Points: 2,200 per year (finished in top 3 in all years but rookie year)All-Star appearances: 9MVP: 4 times in regular season, 2 times in playoffsChampionship rings: 2These stats rank along the career likes of Michael Jordan, widely thought to be the greatest basketball player of all time. Zlatan Ibrahamovic's stats apparently do not surprise experts more than 17 other players (2). Lebron James is thought by many experts on ESPN and Bleacher Report alike to be the top basketball player in this era (3).Therefore, by the opinions of EXPERTS, Zlatan Ibrahimovic fails to even reach the top 15 of soccer players, while Lebron James beats out Kevin Durant for the number one spot. How can Lebron James be worse than Zlatan Ibrahimovic if there is a seventeen spot difference between them?Also, basketball being worse than soccer is not a valid argument for you, as you show no evidence for your claim. I could just as easily say talking is as easy as soccer. Your resolution that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world has not only not been proven, but is also false. Try proving he is better than Lionel Messi or Christino Ronaldo. If Zlatan Ibrahimovic's stats are not upon the likes of Lebron James' statistics, so how can you expect him to be better? Statistics don't lie, bro.I will post longer arguments if you prove that you can effectively refute them. For now, I am not so sure if you will and/or can. I feel I have proved my resolution that Lebron James is better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.(2) http://www.ibtimes.com...(3) http://nba.si.com...
Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world!

YEAAAAAHHH, You really think Lebron is better than Zlatan? Ha I laugh at that, Zlatan has scored some of the most astonishing goals I have ever seen. What special shots has Lebron done? I bet nothing better than a bicycle kick from over 30 yards out agaisnt England! How about multiple back heel goals in mid air! This is why Zlatan is better, more fun to watch. This also proving that Basketball sucks compared to soccer.
Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world!

http://www.youtube.com...The first thing about my opponent's argument is that he failed to produce his own argument/a reliable argument until the fourth round. I am not insulting my opponent, but here is what I need you to take into the conduct section of the voting:Second round: Said he laughed that LeBron was better than Ibrahimovic with no evidence besides "awesome goals."Third round: Included literally nothing but a copied and pasted statistic without a source and included two quotes on Ibrahimovic, which I refuted.Now, in the fourth round, he puts up a real argument that I can't refute because it is the fourth round. Since this is an unfair move, I will provide my full-effort refution. The rebuttals will be split into spaced sections, like my opponent's arguments.Rebuttal:In the very first statement, he says that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is having a down year. ...That goes straight against his resolution that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world currently. I must mention LeBron is 29 years of age and the top everything in basketball, as shown by the ESPN rankings in the third round.Christino Rondaldo has been compared to Lebron further proves my point. I looked at multiple sites, and ALL of them rank Christino Ronaldo better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. [1][2][3][4][5]. So therefore, you just proved my resolution. Thank you. Here's how I see it (as said by stats): IbrahimovicThe next section is about how Zlatan was the best striker in the world. This debate is not about past time, but current time. If it was about past time, I would've chosen Joe Montana or Jim Rice or Brett Favre, etc.I believed I have proven my point. Thank you for the debate! :)[1] http://www.ibtimes.com... (ranks Christino 2nd, Zlatan 18th)[2] http://worldsoccer.about.com... (Ranks Christino 2nd, Zlatan 10th)[3] http://bleacherreport.com... (Ranks Christino 1st, Zlatan 2nd)[4] http://www.theguardian.com... (Ranks Christino 2nd, Zlatan 3rd)[5] http://www.caughtoffside.com... (Ranks Christino 2nd, Zlatan 5th)
Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world!

Every Player has a bad run of form in thier Career, just like Messi this year is playing very poor and he has been riddled with injuries. The reason Zlatan is in a bad run of form is becuase you cant deny he is aging but with that said that I must mention he is the TOP GOAL SCORER in the French leugue and he is 32 years of age.I also would like to talk about that Lebron has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo by ESPN and they said soccer is a more tough game to play than Basketball. So Ronaldo is better than Lebron in the form of Athletisism. This being said Ibrahimovic has been better than Ronaldo in years past. So the way I see it Lebron< Ronaldo < IbrahimovicBack when Zlatan was in his best form playing for Barcelona he was the best Striker in the world and better than RonaldoSure Zlatan is not in top form for this year, and still the top goal scorer in the French Leugue! He still shows amazing sparks of brilliance even with his older age. I think soccer is a way more phisically exuasting sport than basketball. For example in soccer there are only 3 substitutions per game per team and this means you cant come on off the field and back on exept for half time. In Basketball you can have a sub whenever you want and you can come back on the field afterward. The pure athleticism of soccer players is way more than a basketball player could handle. Zlatan rarely gets subbed off because he is a vital player to his team, he will play the full 90 mins of play with no subs and even up to 120 mins if the game goes into extra time.If you dont understand what I am talking about when I say he scores amazing go als just watch this http://www.youtube.com...There is also a song about how great Ibrahimovic is. I have never heard of a song about Lebron James. http://www.youtube.com...;These goals show the absolute sparks of brilliance that Zlatan produces and this is what makes him a better athlete overall and a more amusing player to watch play I will let the voters decide who has more athleticism and sparks of brilliance.
Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best player in the world!

Thanks to beastmode for his willingness to debate this topic with me. Also, just a fun fact, Dodgers fans chant "beast mode" whenever Matt Kemp steps to the plate. Out of curiosity, do you like Matt Kemp? -Rebuttal I: Flaws--So, anyway, onto my opponent's arguments. I see my opponent provided no real arguments for Zlatan Ibrahimovic besides his statistical categories, which were not given a rank nor a source of any sort, unlike mine. My opponent also goes on to say that stats don't lie so he can't refute my arguments.While that may be true for the statistical part of my argument, he apparently paid no attention to the latter parts of my argument. For now, I wish you see them as dropped points. Furthermore, he failed to address the fact that Zlatan Ibrahimovic isn't even in the top 15 soccer players. He also failed to note the fact that expert's rankings put both players at very different positions.Another part of my opponent's argument I would like you (the voter) to take into account is that he showed quotes, which in no way proves that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is better than LeBron James.--Rebuttal II: Stats--I admit I said "stats don't lie." However, that does not mean they can be refuted and/or driven down to a lower manner. I think any experienced debater on this site would be able to refute statistics. However, I have somewhat far from experienced, so I guess I will just have to try my best to refute the opening statements of your arguments.First off, I am a little bit slow on soccer statistics. However, I have conducted some further research, and I believe I get the gist of it now.Zlatan Ibrahimovic, over his last ten matches, has gotten a score of an 8 (1) and a 7.72 rating overall. This puts him to the very good-great section overall. That is only average for a superstar. Furthermore, this site (1) also lists him as having two weaknesses: discipline and offside awareness. A player without discipline is barely a player at all in my opinion. Do not take that as a fact, though. Just my opinion.However, LeBron James doesn't have any flaws with his game... literally. ESPN says so. ESPN gave him a ten out of ten (2). For all of you basketball fans reading this, here is a comparison:LeBron James: 10.00Kevin Durant: 9.86Kyrie Irving: 8.23Kevin Love: 7.51A fellow basketball fan had this to say:"Lebron James is not the next Michael Jordan, he's the first Lebron James." -TheRomyc135 on LeBron James being given a ten.And if that doesn't cut it, here is what some experts had to say:"Lebron is by far deserving #1. Makes everyone better, rebounds, defends an elite level. Truly at a level of his own." -Chase Cronin on LeBron James being given a ten.So, this season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is doing "great" on the soccer rating. This season, LeBron James is doing literally everything better than any other player (as said by ESPN), giving him a perfect ten, two grades higher than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.Thank you for your time.(1) http://www.whoscored.com...(2) http://espn.go.com...
Bsh v. Esocial: Hot Guys Battle

PrefaceI am having this debate for three reasons (a) I've kind of wanted to try something like this for awhile, (b) it annoys me not having an equal number of lost and tied debates, and (c) 111 debates is such an awkward number to leave the site on that I need to do one more debate. Plus, hot guys are wonderful...This debate is a non-voting debate. Both me and Annie (by accepting this debate) agree that all votes cast on this debate should null (awarding no points or equal points to both sides). Any non-null debates should be deleted by the moderators unless an egregious violation of conduct or a clear-cut rules breach occurs within the debate. The response time for this debate is 24 hours. There is a maximum of 6,000 characters. Please be prepared for a swift debate.Purpose/StructureThis is a battle of who can present the hottest guys. No arguments should be presented for who is hotter--the photos should speak for themselves. Voters are free to cast null votes expressing their thoughts on the debate, but again, the end-result will be a tie.In each round, each debater will post 5 to 7 photos of a given model. All of the photos posted in a debater's portion of the round must be from the same model. So, all of my Round 2 photos must be from the same model/actor/person-who-exists, and all of Annie's Round 2 photos must be from the same model. However, we are not allowed to use the same models--so the person I pick for Round 2 cannot be used by Annie in Round 2 or any other round. Moreover, we may not repeat models, so I cannot used the Round 2 model in any other rounds.We should post the name of our selected model in each round, as well as--if we can find it--height, age, and weight. The name is required, but the other stats aren't; we will rely on the honor system to ensure that both of us made decent efforts to attain and furnish the other information, though. Also, while I use the term "model," it can really be any guy we think is hot.Round 1 should just be acceptance and acknowledgement of the rules. Rounds 2-4 are for us to post our images. Images may be linked to our photo albums on DDO or embedded in the debate. They should not be taken to outside links. All images must conform to the TOS--they cannot be nudes (even ones that aren't fully revealing) or display graphic or inappropriate imagery. My current profile pic is about as racy as it can get...I think that this sums up the debate and its expectations pretty well, actually. So, that concludes this portion of the OP.Rules1. No forfeits2. Any citations or foot/endnotes must be provided in the text of the debate3. Maintain a civil and decorous atmosphere4. No trolling or semantics5. Violation of any of these rules or of any of the R1 set-up merits a lossThanks......to Annie! I look forward to a deliciously sexy debate :)

Bsh v. Esocial: Hot Guys Battle

Thanks to Annie for accepting! We have also agreed, since I forgot to add the fourth round, that we will just do two models each in R3 instead of one. Thus, we'll have the same number of models and photos as if we had done four rounds. Why restrict the hotness? All other rules are still in force.Name: Nikita GutsuHeight: 5 foot 10Weight: 174 poundsAge: 22 years old
Organic food should be administrated in schools

I Agree with the definitions. Now i will State my first point, research shows that 23% of u. s citizens are consistently buying organic food, while the other 77% are eating non- organic foods. you have to remember that organic food comes in smaller packages and wwww. organicconsumers,com has a blog about how a guy named matt palmquist and his roommate tryed to go organic for the weeek, he says normally a weeks woth of grocerys ranges around $130.00 but while going organic matts total was $199.78 about $65 more and since organic food comes in smaller packages tham matt will be getting less for more. My next point is obesity is a growing problem that we should take seriously, but the way to solve it is not to limit the choice of unhealthy food, we shouldincrease the amount of sport and excersise in schoolsat the same time schools should encourage parents to keep their kids on a balanced diet. My third point is, a balanced diet includes small amounts of sugar, fat and salthow do you decide what is healthy and what is not? is up to if pupils are very active and involved in sports they may need to eat alot of calories. . you have to teach children whether or not to choose an apple over a candy bar. the upbringing cooperation of child and parent, the state shouldnt take the job. .! Besides the school serves to meals (lunch and breakfast) Lunch is arequired meal, they have to give you the following: beverage, fruit or vegetable and a whole serving, whether it be a slice of pizza bosco sticks or taco's. it is the parents careless mistakes that lead to obesity.
Organic food should be administrated in schools

I accept, and will be supporting the case that Organic Foods should be Administered in Schools. as PRO.Just some definitions.Organic Foods: Organic foods are made in a way that limits the use of synthetic materials during productionhttp://en.wikipedia.org...Administered: To give or apply in a formal way (basically meaning readily available)http://www.thefreedictionary.com... If you disagree with any definitions, please PM or comment.
Most Abortion should be Considered Murder

I'm sorry for not responding. I've been away. There is no point starting a debate in the final round. I would like to respectfully forfeit due to my absents in this debate. Voters please be kind. My absents is due to personal matters that came up recently. I wish not to speak of what came up, but just know my absents is not my fault. I had intentions of doing this debate. My apologies go out to sengejuri and everyone looking forward to this debate.
Most Abortion should be Considered Murder

My position for this debate is that in most cases, abortion should be considered murder. The qualifier "most" is used because I wish to exclude abortion in cases of rape, incest, or life of the mother. I believe these are unique situations and they make up a very small percentage of all abortions performed. Terms are defined as follows: Abortion - Intentionally terminating a pregnancy before giving birth Murder - Intentionally ending another human life Life - I anticipate much of this debate will focus on when human life begins. I am open to debating the best definition of this. I would ask voters to accept the most logically convincing definition that is presented. Organization is as follows: Round 1 - acceptance only, no arguments Round 2 - opening arguments for each side, no rebuttals Round 3 - rebuttals Round 4 - response/additional rebuttals, conclusion I realize this is a very emotional topic. I am looking for someone who is willing to debate in a calm, respectful, and logical manner. Burden of proof is shared. No trolling, use of sources is encouraged. If you agree to these terms, please accept.
Existing highways should not be privatized

I wonder where he's been for so long, by the way. Many of you will remember Badger's early days on this site when his avatar was a charming photo of him on the lash down the pub, grinning menacingly and swinging a pool cue about in an aggressive manner. Oh, yes, the good old days when Badger used to come on this site when everybody else was asleep and have arguments with himself on the forums; the good old days when Badger was a socialist who shunned the use of the "shift" key, dismissing it as an obscene capitalist decadence, but since he has been away it seems he has been reformed: not only does he now employ the use of capital letters but it seems he has also become an apologist for the Bourgeoisie. With this being the case, I would like to address his rebuttals as follows: 1) Though the gap between rich and poor perpetually grows, ammm, errr. .. I'll come back to this one. Fair enough. 2) The brain drain and its counterpart, whatever it's called. .. the idiot evacuation perhaps? errrrrr. .. fvck! Okay, I'll be back to this one, too. Jolly good. 3) Rich people! , you know who you'll be voting for I'm sure. .. That"s right: the Tories (or the Republicans in America, not sure about Ireland, are there any rich people there apart from Ryanair's Michael O'Leary and Bono out of U2? ) 4) Temporarily embarrassed millionaires! It seems there has been some changes in America since John Steinbeck's day, at least if like 58,163,977 voters you believe presidential election loser, Mitt Romney, who said 47% of Americans "believe that they are victims, (they) believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, (they) believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them - my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. " Actually, the people he was referring to are students, old-age pensioners, war veterans, manual workers and the disabled: none of whom are poor out of choice and shouldn"t be forced to travel on the back roads so that toffs and snobs in posh cars are not inconvenienced. In conclusion, the existing roads that have been bought and paid for by the taxpayer should not be flogged off to a bunch of spivs so that they can introduce tolls that only the rich can afford to pay.
