God is a fictional figure.

Well, those were some nice points, but I, of course, must refute them. If you indeed did read the Bible, you would understand that humans are born with original sin. The original sin was, of course, the sin made by Adam and Eve when they betrayed God and gave into temptation. So, although it may be sad that these infants die, everything does happen for a reason, and they indeed do have sin until they are baptized and thus forgiven of that original sin. Surely there must be a reason for their early death (what if they will become a murderer if they grew up), but since they are just babies, we do not realize that. In addition, if the person truly did not sin, then they are brought up to Heaven. If it was a small child who had not yet sinned, although he/she did not have a place on Earth, they will live in happiness in Heaven. In addition, you stated that "more tragedies occur than 'miracles' in this world". Well, unless you counted them, I don't think so. Each day, many new babies are born, and although elders are dying, the population is growing. A healthy human birth can be seen as a miracle. As stated in a previous round, people have become so accustomed to great things happening on a regular basis, they no longer think of these things as "miracles". Finding true love, too, can be a miracle. Though, you may say that natural disasters are tragedies. Although they may be bad, these are part of our Earth and help us in many cases (Population control, giving us a better understanding of how our Earth works, ecological succession). You continued to mention that there were no witnesses in the miracles of the Bible. Well, were the 5 thousand men and women present when Jesus converted the bread and fish into a huge feast not witnesses? Yeah, they were. The men that say Jesus heal the leaper, the men that say Jesus heal the paralyzed man, were all witnesses. Many went on to write about the events of the Bible. You then go on to question the validity of the Bible claiming that "The Bible has numerous holes in it's stories, with no evidential background." This too is false. What if I told you that the Bible was written by over 40 people, and over a period of 1,600 years. All these different writings and opinions were unified within the Bible. It was not one biased person writing it, but many persons, all who had faith and belief along with the events they witnessed. So, yes, the Bible is valid and is nonfictional. Lastly, you ended by saying, "This world is too plagued and poverty stricken to have a savior watch over us." Well, not really. God loves us all no matter what. He loves me, and he loves you too. Even though you may sin and you may deny his existence, God will not stop watching over you. Think about it. Has anything ever happened to you where you thought, "Wow, how did that happen?" No matter how much sin and corruption is present in this world, God and Jesus will never leave us or give up on us. There may be darkness in this world, but it only takes a little light to pierce the darkness. It only takes a little light to brighten this world. And that light, is God. The Holy Father, who is real, loving, protecting, and forgiving. Thank you for the debate, and I hope you understand that God truly is a real, almighty, and eternal being. As we Catholics say in the Nicene Creed, "I believe in one God, the Father of the almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth. Of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God. Born of the father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, True God to True God. Begotten not made consubstantial with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from Heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. And rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. He is seated at the right hand of the Father and will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end."
