Can you romantically love more than one person at once

1.When in a long-term relationship or marriage romantic love can become stagnant and comfortable and fade away subtly so when someone in that relationships falls romantically in love with a new partner they can feel confused thinking they love two people at once when really there isn"t much love left with their current partner. Old feelings of love must have to be gone in order for them to love another. 2.Polygamy only proves that a man is married to more than one woman at a time. Marriage does not imply love. People get married for various reasons other than love. 3.Sex and lust are both powerful things and they can be confused with actually loving someone but sex and/or lust does not equal romantic love. 4.Sex for means of procreation does not indicate romantic love, it merely indicates wanting to pass on your genes. 5.Sending flowers is a nice gesture, possibly of romantic love or many other reasons that are not romantic love. Just because you can send flowers to more than one person doesn"t mean you can romantically love more than one person at the same time. 6.It is not possible to romantically love more than one person at a time.
A religion that believes in Satan cannot be a rational position

3-4. Again, there is. The Bible was created by God because it says things which only God could have knew. It is historically accurate, proving events which only God could have done. Satan can't give evidence as he does not have enough power o do what the Bible says God did. Satan is an angel, not omnipotent. He cannot flood an entire world. He cannot destroy cities. He cannot cast out Satan, as he is Satan. He will not expose his own ways, but the Bible tells us exactly who Satan is. 5. Any god besides the one true God of the Bible is not worth following.
A religion that believes in Satan cannot be a rational position

Con accepted 1-23. Con accepts 1-2. Since Satan deceives he could've sent the scripture to man. Proof of a religion from religious text doesn't tell us if it's sent down by God or Satan. Since Satan can give evidence for the religion and deceive us that it's from God to get souls into hell. Other religions such as Islam claim the same thing. There's simply no way of knowing.4. As mentioned above evidence for a religion doesn't mean God sent it down. Satan can give evidence scriptural,historical,right in front of your face, and anything else. A Satanists converting to Christianity or Islam tells us nothing if that particular religion was from God or not. It's like the liar paradox.5. You can have a God that's not benevolent or no God at all.
A religion that believes in Satan cannot be a rational position

1 & 2- Those are true. He is an comes to steal, kill, and destroy. 3- Not true. I know it was created by God. How do I know that? Well, everything the Bible says is true and cannot be disproven. All other religions can. 4- No it's not. That is only true assuming all my proof of my religion is scriptural, which it isn't. History has also proven our religion. For example, we first though thew Bible mentioning Hittites was false and disproven the Bible, but then we discovered that the Hittites were real. Also, many ex-Satanists (who literally worship the devil knowingly and pray to m), have testified that Christianity is from the one true God and then they converted to it. I can go on and on, but we must continue the debate. 5- That is a false statement. Without Satan, you must believe that your god brings pain, suffering, disaster, and conflict on this world. Without Satan, your god has very immoral laws. If a god allows you to murder, that god is not true. If you murder and it's against your god, without Satan, you have no explanation other than humans are corrupt, which makes your god's creation not perfect therefor your god is not omnipotent and therefor not a true god.
A religion that believes in Satan cannot be a rational position

Here's the argument to show that a position that believes in Satan cannot be valid. 1. Satan is seeking to take souls into hell 2. He deceives 3. There is no way to know that your religion wasn't created by Satan. 4. Any attempt to show that your religion was sent down by God and not Satan would be circular(By arguing within your religion. I. E. "God wouldn't let Satan get away with that" assumes your religions view of God is correct and not deceived by Satan. Another example would be quoting Mark 3:26 "And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. " This is assuming that Jesus wasn't just Satan being deceptive. Furthermore its assuming that Jesus was in fact fighting against Satan and not just pretending to get souls into hell. ) 5. A position where no Satan exists is the only sound position.
Banning Beauty Pageants for Those Under 18

Should Beauty Pageants be banned? I strongly support the elimination of beauty pageants for those under 18 years old. Young girls' minds are easier to corrupt, and after these beauty contests, are being left with the wrong image that they need to wear makeup and look pretty to succeed in life. No educational benefits are gained, and girls don't learn how to work as a team. Lastly, these contests lower the self-esteem of young women and girls by ranking them based on their appearances. Let's end these pageants once and for all.

Battle of Hastings The battle of Hastings resulted in a Norman victory in 1066. It was the last invasion of England, it ensured the adoption of the political and social traditions of continental Europe rather then those of Scandinavia, the battle gave the crown to William. The vikings held much of the British Isles prior to the battle, but after the battle they lost much control of the island. William's force only numbered 5000 infantrymen men and 2000 calvary, roughly the same size force of the defenders. After a fail calvary charge, rumors spread through the ranks of the Normans that William was killed the charge. After hearing these rumors William rallied his troops and renewed an attack on the Saxons. The Saxon leader Godwin took an arrow to the eye and soon the Saxons began to retreat from lack of leadership and Norman calvary flanking their lines. This battle lead to the expansion of England culture, power and influence. P.S A side note to your original battle, Operations Fortitude was the operation to fool the Germans in thinking that the invasion would be in Calais. Operation Overlord was the invasion of Normandy.

Here is another challenge! This one is the greatest battles challenge! The rules are that an opponent and I will place one military engagement each round. Then my opponent and I will just give a summary on how effective this battle changed the world. The voters will decide based on who has given a more effective battle than their opponent each round. There are no rebuttals or attacks, just present your battle and explain why it is so great. Here is my first battle: Operation Overlord On June 6, 1944 the allies landed in France which was suffering from German occupation. This was a massive turning point in the war for the allies as they had finally landed an army in France to get to Germany. They had been bogged down in Italy and they decided to land somewhere else. The Germans had been deceived and fooled and thought the invasion would be at Calais. This successful invasion would secure an allies foothold in Northern Europe for the rest of the war and would force Germany to concentrate its forces somewhere new. The operation was mainly done by American, British, and Canadian troops, but there were others from many other nations. It is still today the largest amphibious landing to ever occur. By July 25, 1944 over 1,000,000 troops were landed in Europe. From this base the allies pushed into France and eventually Germany.

Battle of Yorktown The battle of Yorktown lasted from 28th September to 19th October 1781, between French and American forces against the British. With Washington leading the Americans and Rochambeau leading the French, they assaulted a position in which British commander Cornwallis had taken up after his losses in the Carolinas. With the arrival of the French fleet under al De Grasse, Washington was able to march south from New York to meet up with the French forces to march to York town. The siege began on 30th September. Cornwallis decided to defend Yorktown convinced that general Clinton would sail from the North and reinforce his army. However the French fleet fought a pitched battle against the British fleet and ultimately turned back the British fleet. News of Clinton's defeat did not reach Cornwallis, thus he was determined to hold out until reinforcements arrived. The French and Americans continued their their siege, and finally on October 19th, Cornwallis surrendered after running low on ammo and food. This battle resulted in the peace treaty which recognized the independence of America and the withdraw of British forces form America.

Next Battle: Gettysburg, 1863 Lose this one, and General Lee probably marches on Washington D.C., sending Lincoln and his staff fleeing and forcing the country to accept the existence of a Confederate States of America. This one was a must win for the Union and, fortunately, the man in charge, George Meade, proved to be up to the task—though just barely. In a battle that raged for three sweltering days in July of 1863, the two massive armies pummeled each other into dust, but it was the superior Union position—they held the high ground—and Lee's ill-advised decision to have General Pickett charge the center of the Union line that ended in the worst defeat in Confederate history to that time. While the Union losses were heavy too, the North could better absorb such losses. The South, on the other hand, never recovered from Gettysburg and was forced to begin increasingly fighting a defensive battle to stave off inevitable defeat against a much more populous, industrially advanced, and wealthier North.

"the first time that a non-European colonial independence movement had evolved through all the stages from guerrilla bands to a conventionally organized and equipped army able to defeat a modern Western occupier in pitched battle".[1] This resulted the lost of the French's empire crown jewel (vietnam) and drastically reduced Frances influence on the fate of Indochina at Geneva.

Next Battle: Battle of Waterloo, 1815 In a total repudiation of Napoleon's attempt to reclaim his previous glory after a brief vacation to the island paradise of Elba, an undersized force of British, Dutch and Prussian troops under the capable command of the Duke of Wellington threw back Napoleon's army at the little Belgian town of Waterloo, thereby bringing an ignoble end to his much-touted comeback tour. Ultimately, Napoleon would be defeated for the last time and stopped from changing the face of Europe.

Battle of Adrianople: The Battle of Adrianople was for eastern Europe and probably Europe entirely when the armies of Islam were stopped in their tracks just as they were prepared to take all of Europe. Had this battle been lost and Constantinople—at the time the largest city in Christendom—fallen to the Muslims, it would have allowed the armies of Islam to move practically unimpeded throughout the Balkans and into central Europe and Italy. As it was, Constantinople was to act like the cork in a bottle, keeping the armies of Allah from crossing the Bosporus and taking Europe in force—a role it was to play for the next 700 years until the city finally fell in 1453. Constantinople had large walls around it that could only be defeating when the Ottoman Turks in 1453 brought some of the first cannons, but before that it was hard and Adrianople was a battle to save Europe from Islam.

Battle Of Salamis During the Second Persian invasion of Greece, the Persians had a size of 1200 ships (according to ancient sources) to Athens (the Greek alliance) ~370 ships. The Greeks knew that they would eventually be overwhelmed by the Persian army if they fought them on the land, so with this knowledge they decided to fight a battle with the Persians in the Sea. They decided the best place to fight the Persians was the Strait of Salamis, the strait effectively made the Persian overwhelming numbers no advantage at all. They baited Xerxes by sending a Greek man posing as a traitor to reveal the location of the Greek Navy. Xerxes having dealt with traitors in the past was unsuspecting of the trap that he was walking into. The Persians sailed into the strait only to be surrounded and massacred by the Greeks. The Persians lost ~200 ships compare to the Greeks ~40 ships. This crushing defeat forced Xerxes to withdraw the bulk to his army from Greece, for he could no longer efficiently supply his forces with the loses he sustained. Though Xerxes left behind a force of roughly 50,000 men in Greece, the remaining Persian forces were easily destroyed by the combined forces of the Athens and Spartan armies. Thus as the outcome of the Battle of Salamis Greek democracy was saved from expanding Persian empire.

The Battle of Fort DuquesneThe Seven Years' War was a global military war between 1756 and 1763, involving most of the great powers of the time and affecting Europe, North America, Central America, the West African coast, India, and the Phillipines. This war helped Great Britain rise to power over France. One of the major turning points in the war in North America was the Battle of Fort Duquesne. The BattleThis Battle is considered to be a French victory because of the French fending of the initial British attack. Although the French had fended off the initial British attack, they understood that their remaining force of 600 cound not fend off the main British force. The French then retreated. The British and Americans later rebuilt the Fort and called it Fort Pitt after the British Prime Minister William Pitt. Why was Fort Duquesne so important? Fort Duquesne was the major French fort and supply hold in North America. After the British had captured the Fort, the French had lost it's major supply provider and turned the tide of the war in favor of the British.If Fort Duquesne was not captured? The French would continue to have it as a stronghold and have won the war. If the French had won the war,- The US would not exist because the French would have ruled North America.- The French, not the British, would become the most powerful nation of the time.- Instead of English, more nations would be speaking French.http://en.wikipedia.org...;http://en.wikipedia.org...;

The Battle of StalingradThe Battle of Stalingrad is considered by many historians as the turning point of World War II. The Battle for Stalingrad was fought during the winter of 1942 to 1943. The German commander of the Sixth Army, General Paulus, advanced on the city of Stalingrad. The Battle turned into one of the most bloody in WWII.Why is this Battle Important? The failure of the German Army was a disaster. A complete army group was lost at Stalingrad and 91,000 Germans were taken prisoner. The Germans now do not have enough men to cope with the Russian advance. The Germans were forced to retreat on the Eastern Front from February 1943 on. In his fury, Hitler ordered a day’s national mourning in Germany, not for the men lost at the battle, but for the shame Paulus had brought on Germany. If the Germans had won? The Germans would have likely won the battles on the Eastern front, would have been more likely to win WWII, and the future of the world would be in question.Sourceshttp://www.historylearningsite.co.uk...; http://www.history.com...

The Battle of Poltava The Battle of Poltava was the turning point in the Great Northern War which ended much of Swedish influence in Europe. Czar Peter’s victory in the Great Northern War would bring Russia closer to Europe not just geographically but culturally. It marked the irreversible rise of one state’s power and influence at the fall of another’s. This PowerPoint accurately describes the events in the battle: http://www.theartofbattle.com... If the Swedish had won? From the end of the Great Northern War onwards, Sweden was regulated to a regional power, whereas previously it had been counted among the great powers of Europe. Russia would, as a result of the war, dominate the Baltic and Poland. If the Swedish had won however, Sweden would have continued to be one of the dominating powers of Europe, and several regions near present day Ukraine would be Swedish, and Russia would have little influence on European culture.

The Battle of ViennaThis Battle was also one of the most important in world history. The Ottoman Empire's goal was to expand Islam into Europe and claim all of Europe for Allah. 150,000 to 300,000 troops under Kara Mustafa Pasha fought a mixed force of some 80,000 troops under the Polish King John Sobrieski near Vienna one September in 1683 and lost. The battle marked the end of Islamic expansion into Europe and resulted in their commander, Mustafa Pasha, being executed by the Turks for his mishandling of the battles for Vienna. Had Pasha attacked when he first arrived at the city earlier that July, Vienna probably would have fallen. By waiting until September, however, he gave time for the Polish Army and their allies to arrive to break the siege. What if The Ottoman Empire had won? Europe probably would have become Islamic. All of Europe would probably have been taken over by the Ottoman Empire. For more information, visit. http://www.youtube.com...;http://en.wikipedia.org...; . http://www.wien-vienna.com...
