Haruhiism is a legitimate religion

I completely agree with dropping points 1 and 2.On your 3rd point: Again, I must apologize for any misconception in the point I was making. In regards to a self-proclaimed (even in jest) Jedi being a member of Parliament, that was intended in a positive manner, I certainly wish my congressional representative was a Jedi, that'd be amazing on so many levels. As for your point of the difference between recognition and legitimacy, your point makes no sense as legal legitimacy requires recognition. Otherwise, I could make the argument that my bedroom could be a legitimate state, even though it's not recognized. It'd have all the parts of a state, a government (a dictatorship), a population (me, myself, and I), and sovereignty (It's my room). For something to be considered legitimate, with the understanding of legitimate we are operating under, recognition is presupposed.The difference is that while, to use belief in Jesus as an example, certainly has ontological aspects to it, through it's practices and the comprehensiveness of it's message and the manner through which the message is communicated (the Sacraments and other rites), Christianity is more of a "real" religion. Haruhiism isn't (while I'm aware this may sound stuck it, it's not intended to) as "complete" of a religion. As I tried to point out, Haruhiism as it stands lacks some of the integral parts of what defines religion. To quote myself, "I personally believe that the world needs a little more chaos to take it's mind off some of the darker problems plaguing it, but even then I would argue that it doesn't meet that which must be met for the status of true religion." I stand by that statement.For your additions:1) Nowhere have I mentioned dismissing the idea of Haruhiism outright, and while I certainly agree that opinions and meaning change over time, what I've been arguing is the point that as it stands, at this point in time, Haruhiism cannot be considered a legitimate religion. Whether or not that can change in the future is irrelevant and immaterial to the resolution being debated. In fact, you can cross apply this point to your 2nd addition.3) It was never my intention to demean or stigmatize Haruhiism by applying the term "mock religion", it's simply the term I saw you use and then picked up for the debate, I sincerely apologize if that's came across.You also never addressed my claim to your not taken on the burden of proof, so I'll assume that you recognize that point as valid. In summary, I think this debate was very interesting and I hope that you took as much away from it as I did, but I think I win on these two points:1) You never adequately shouldered the burden of proof, what arguments you brought up were nearly in response to arguments I made, and this issue ought to be an 'a priori' voting issue.2) I believe my point of the resolution having to do with the current state of Haruhiism flows across and that alone grants me the win. I've been arguing that as it stands, Haruhiism isn't a legitimate religion. Talking about it becoming one is extra-topical and ought to be disregarded.Con wins on either of these points alone, but I can claim both of them, so I believe I've won this one.My final word will be that I'm very grateful to have debated someone with good logical argumentation, and I certainly look forward to debating with you in the future.
