Atheism vs. Christianity (Pro - Atheist, Con - Christian)

This will be my last speech for this debate. Fortunately (or maybe for my opponent, unfortunately) I've have a rather ample amount of information to present. Let's get started with the last round.Argument 1The free will we don't have.In my opponent's first point, he makes a dramatically wild claim that God has given us a free will. Here he presents his case as most Christians do, which is this.“God wanted man to live with him forever. Man, however was tricked by satin (Which God made by the way), and now God can't be with man because of sin (Which was also created by Him). Now it is our choice to accept Jesus into our hearts so we can be together again.”This warm and gushy thought is completely against the bible. In my first argument, which my opponent has neglected to address, show specifically what the bible actually shows. I stated,“According to the bible, Job 21:22 [1], Romans 11:33-34 [2], Job 34:21 [3], and etc... God is all knowing. He's in control, nothing happens unless He allows it. This is God's plan, He created people to go to hell. Even if He didn't have a choice to create satin and sin, He still doesn't allow millions of people into heaven according to the doctrine of election (Eph. 1:5,11 [4]) This comes in direct contradiction of the bible which claims that He is a loving God. There is no way to avoid this.”We have no free will. God determined exactly what would happen in the world. There is but one problem with God's plan. That is that's it is impossible. In the Bible, verses verifying this load it's pages. Such as Jeremiah 29:11 [5] which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God knows our future, he knows the past, he planed everything before the creation of the world. My opponent must agree with this statement. Most Christians are aware of this. The part that they don't think about is what happens in life that flows according to God's “plan.” With what happens in life, God's plan is impossible. For example, in Psalm 139:16 [6], God states that he knows everyday of our life, including our life and death. Sounds fair, right? What about abortions. God has specifically decided that a baby will be ripped apart before birth. And millions of these are going on. If God planed for them to be aborted, the doctor and the mother are blameless. They're just puppets of God's plan. The Christians who protest abortions would technically be protesting God's plan.Also, what about murders? The murderer had no choice. God randomly decided in heaven, “Let's see, James died peaceful? No! He'll be choked. Yeah that's better. Sorry James. Phil, you're the murderer, go crazy.” God wanted Phil to murder so he should also be blameless.Now God plans our birth as well. Rapists then should be rewarded. God picked out the parents and they carried out the plan.If we follow in the thinking that this God has a plan, we then have no free will. Which comes in direct contradiction on how we are presented in the bible. We don't even have limited free will. Anything that happens is what God wanted.To believe in the Christian God, which is what our opponent is advocating for, they then have to believe that God plans all abortions, murderers should go free, rapists should be rewarded, and we're a slave to God.Argument 2 and 3Religions of ignoranceIn my arguments, I don't see how I could have made it any clearer. But since my point isn't getting across, I will break it into individual facts. What my opponent doesn't quite understand is the pattern religion follows. I stated in my last round is that certain deities and eventually religions are dying. People then had no conception of why the sun set. So to explain this phenomenon they created a god who ruled the sun. To them, this seemed like a good explanation. After years, we slowly found why the sun rises and sets, so we didn't needs Ra's help anymore. This is the pattern we see in history. My opponent got from my argument is that all the religions are narrowing down to Christianity. However this is not close to what is happening. The ideas of a deity is being pushed away, with our ability to explain nature without God. The presence of religion is the absence of knowledge.Argument 4Morality is slowly solvedThis argument presented by my opponent is slightly illogical (No offense). If it does anything, it moves to my favor. The article I presented was clearly followed through. Hitler went against the moral agreement, might we say, of that time. His reign didn't last because of his moral changes. The idea of treating a race as less than, which is what he was doing, was ruled out not too long ago. For example consider slavery. We treated the African Americans as below us. We finally discovered that this treatment, was not as productive to us, so we bonded with them. Any racism that happens today is now looked down upon.The QuestionsQuestion 1: Do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God? - Personally, yes, I do.Since you agree that the Bible is inspired by God then you would expect to find zero contradictions and errors in it. I've repeatedly shown you several times that the bible is full of contradictions and outdated thoughts. Since you have not rebutted these arguments, you must then agree with them which means that the Bible is flawed which makes it a fable created by man.Question 2: Do you believe the Bible should be completely taken literally? If not, which sections would be taken literally and which should be taken figuratively? - No, I do not believe every word of the Bible is to be taken "literally."No where in the bible do you find the command to take the bible figuratively. In fact it tells you the opposite (to its own destruction) [7]. If we are to correctly handle the bible Christians must take it as it is. If they don't, according to the bible, flawed man can misinterpret it. However, if we take it literally, problems occur, which Christians also see.For example consider John 6:53-56 which says"Jesus said to them, 'Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.'" Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Christians demand that we take the Bible literally. However, once we do this, the bible doesn't make sense. Here Jesus commands us to eat flesh and drink blood, aka cannibalism.Question 3: Do you believe abuse, racism, and slavery are moral? - No, certainly not todayThen you have to give up Christianity, because it firmly supports these practices. The bible clearly supports Beating slaves, drilling holes in their bodies and separating families. Jesus even refers to a Gentile woman as a dog. All the evidence for this is in you very bible in the bookshelf somewhere.Question 4: Is God all-knowing? Yes, when He so chooses.Then you have to agree with argument 1 of the second round.Question 5: Is evolution a possible beginning for humankind? -Yes, it is a possible beginning, although I do think that it would still be a planned beginning.Ties into question 2Question 6: Is God loving? Yes, but I don"t think our understanding can fully grasp what "loving" means from an eternal God - who is not only loving, but also Holy and Just.I have shown how there is no possible way for their to exist a loving or even just God that answers prayers who answers rich people's trifles and not the miserable people's problems in Africa, even for the ones who fall under submission to Him.These are the some of the questions I've asked you. These six have to most weight as a result of your answer.ConclusionThis has been quite a fine debate. I would first like to thank my opponent for his part in this debate. In my opinion he debated well, but I will leave the judging to the voter.Sources[1] http://biblehub.com...[2] http://biblehub.com...[3] http://biblehub.com...[4] https://www.biblegateway.com...[5] https://www.biblegateway.com...[6] https://www.biblegateway.com...[7] https://www.biblegateway.com...
