Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

In general though, the level of ridiculousness that that story has altogether could be more, less, or equal to the ridiculousness of God.

True. Are you trying to make an argument that I can't possibly disagree with? Congratulations, you succeeded by writing a true statement.

God is actually used to explain things. A unicorn really serves no purpose, while God is seen by many as the explanation to the origin of the universe.

What is your point? People who believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster most likely think it has a greater purpose than a common fairy tale.

Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

God is actually used to explain things.Fables explain things. A unicorn really serves no purpose, while God is seen by many as the explanation to the origin of the universe.A unicorn is one example of a fairy tale. I think you're letting the picture shape your thoughts on this. God in general has no differences from a fairy tale.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: This...

Fables explain things.Sure, although I meant more important things.A unicorn is one example of a fairy tale. I think you're letting the picture shape your thoughts on this. Your example was a unicorn. Provide me with another example and I will change my argument accordingly.God in general has no differences from a fairy tale.How so? I feel like the only characteristic you're taking into account is the degree of believability.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

Sure, although I meant more important things.What is important? Little red riding hood taught you not to talk to strangers. In this time, that's pretty important. What does God teach people? Love your neighbor?Your example was a unicorn. Provide me with another example and I will change my argument accordingly.My example was fairy tales, you looked at the picture, did you read?How so? I feel like the only characteristic you're taking into account is the degree of believability.I couldn't point out any differences, that why I say none. You pointed out one and i proved that false.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: This...

What is important? Little red riding hood taught you not to talk to strangers. In this time, that's pretty important. What does God teach people? Love your neighbor?Well I was thinking more about the origin of the universe, the meaning of life, and things of that nature. You're right though, fables can teach important ideas. However, the difference is that Red Riding hood is not explicitly an explanation by herself. I think that's the point.My example was fairy tales, you looked at the picture, did you read?Of course. My argument stands for fairy tales in general. You pointed out one and i proved that false.I don't think you proved anything. To yourself, perhaps.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

Well I was thinking more about the origin of the universe, the meaning of life, and things of that nature. What I'm getting at is, important is subjective.However, the difference is that Red Riding hood is not explicitly an explanation by herself. I think that's the point.Not to offend, but neither is God. If he was there wouldn't still be so many questions.Of course. My argument stands for fairy tales in general.Your argument, explicitly said "A unicorn really serves no purpose, while God is seen by many as the explanation to the origin of the universe."African tales, love to tell origin stories, and I find a lot of them to be amusing. Like why ever greens are 'ever'green or why snakes have no limbs, and other creatures have many this that and more.I don't think you proved anything. To yourself, perhaps.You said, God acts as an answer to life's mysteries (more or less) you didn't say how. Fairy tales do the same thing, I didn't say how. They are the same.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: This...

What I'm getting at is, important is subjective.True. How about: God and fairy tales explain different things.Not to offend, but neither is God. If he was there wouldn't still be so many questions.I see. I mean, God really can only be different from a fairy tale if you believe God exists. You said, God acts as an answer to life's mysteries (more or less) you didn't say how. Fairy tales do the same thing, I didn't say how. They are the same.How do fairy tales do this exactly?
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

How about: God and fairy tales explain different things.But they don't. A fairy tale can explain anything.I see. I mean, God really can only be different from a fairy tale if you believe God exists.What's to stop people from believing fairy tales exist? Fiction is fairy tales, and people have created a religion based entirely off of fiction. It explained about that in the description.How do fairy tales do this exactly?How the world was created, from a drop of milk It's an African tale, explaining...how the world...was created....from a drop of milk. Check out some more of their fables and stories on that page. It's really interesting, whether you believe it or not.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: This...

But they don't. A fairy tale can explain anything.Fair enough. What's to stop people from believing fairy tales exist?They wouldn't be fairy tales anymore if people believed they were real. A fairy tale is fiction by definition, like you say.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

They wouldn't be fairy tales anymore if people believed they were real. A fairy tale is fiction by definition, like you say.So the difference you say is that people know fairy tales are fiction? What about the people who know God is fiction?
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: This...

Well yeah, if you feel that God is fiction, then there is no difference between God and a fairy tale. That's why I said it depends on the individual.

Freedom of speech is a right. People have the right to debate any subject that they want. Who are you to impose your ideas on other people. If you do not like it, too bad. You do not own the universe.

well, there are different types of god though. the mortal and the immortal. anything you worship is your god. The GOD i know is REAL. that is HIS word is there to keep us strong, not to lose our faith and believe. He also left us the Holy Spirit. it takes those who know the worth of the Bible and how powerful it is it that would understand what am saying. fairy tales are just not real, they are just for entertainment. some of the fairy tales are in a way that it is real but it is not. well what i know is that you can compare all other small gods with fairytale but the real GOD, the one i truly know is incomparable.

God, as in a physical entity? I'm sorry but that's an idol. There's a difference.

Its one thing not believing in God but to see the concept as merely a fairy tale is absurd. Whether God exists in reality or only in the mind of man, it is a huge part of our society and our history.
Debate: What's the difference between God and a common fairy tale?
Side: Nothing

I understand that, and this isn't meant to belittle religion or God. I even stated in the description a religion that stared as little more than a fairy tale. As you said God is a major part in most people's lives, well to a kid who only has fairy tales and no parents maybe because he lives in a foster home, or even a fairy tale author, these fairy tales are very important to them.

Fairy tales are generally believed by most people to just be works of fiction.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?

I'd say both are detrimental handicaps that hold society, and and the human race as a whole, back.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: racist

Gays don't hold us back people like you who think its wrong and are against. why can't straights and gays co-exist, why can't society let them be themselves. What your doing is like saying to child, who was born blind, that they can't have a service dog to help them.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?

"Gays don't hold us back"I never said that they did. If you look at my original argument, you'd see that I said HOMOPHOBIC people hold us back.

No one can help what race they are, whereas someone chooses to be in a gay relationship with someone.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: racist

They can choose weather or not to be in a relationship, however they cannot choose to be gay. Whilst i agree that racism is worse, due to its greater social effects, i dispute your logic. Being gay, they are going to be in a relationship with someone of the same sex at some point with as much likellyhood as you having a straight relationship.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: Both

If by homophobic it's the hatred of people who simply ARE gay, then I think it's just as bad as racism. But if it's mere hatred of Homosexual acts, then racism if definitely worse.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: Racist

Well, I am heterosexual and I don't see anything wrong with homosexual acts. As long as both parties are consenting, and old enough to understand the ramifications of sexual activities, then I don't see what the problem is. Only through arbitrary religious dogma are we taught that homosexuality is wrong. The same arbitrary religious Dogma that gives us guidelines on how to treat your slaves, or what foods we should or should not eat.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?

Well, I am heterosexual and I don't see anything wrong with homosexual acts.Sexuality matters not when it comes to morality. As long as both parties are consenting, and old enough to understand the ramifications of sexual activities, then I don't see what the problem is.Legally, there should be no problem at all. If someone wants to spout racism, they shouldn't be prosecuted. That doesn't mean racism isn't immoral. The same arbitrary religious Dogma that gives us guidelines on how to treat your slaves,Last time I checked we aren't wandering through the desert with our home occupied. But then again, what do you call getting thieves and murderers to build roads for us?or what foods we should or should not eat.You mean the guidelines that prevented the Jewish tribes from eating diseased shellfish?
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: Racist

Sexuality matters not when it comes to morality.Enlighten us, what is it that does matter, when it comes to morality?Legally, there should be no problem at all.What does morality have to do with legality?If someone wants to spout racism, they shouldn't be prosecuted. That doesn't mean racism isn't immoral.Racism, as merely a belief or attitude, is not immoral. Only actions can be immoral.So explain to me what this has to do with homosexuality...Last time I checked we aren't wandering through the desert with our home occupied.And if we were, slavery would be okay?But then again, what do you call getting thieves and murderers to build roads for us?Punishment.You mean the guidelines that prevented the Jewish tribes from eating diseased shellfish?Yet people even today, follow these food laws. Even though we have developed methods of preparing them in a safe way.Religious laws against homosexuality were used to protect small societies from a falling population. We now live in a world of some 6 billion people.

An interesting point, however with someone BEING gay, i think they cannot be expected to remain celibate.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: racist

I think they can actually. I mean, I'm gay and I'm 100% celibate because I deem homosexual conduct as immoral.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?

Respectfully, i think you are the exception to the rule there. I don't wish to question your reasoning, but i don't think there would be many people that could do that.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: racist

no one can help if they are gay, or straight. i bet if you were to ask a gay person if they choose to be gay they would tell you no. now to all those homophobes out there i say this to you "GET OVER IT!"

Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?

100% WRONG. It's the act of homosexuality I oppose, not homosexuals. I hate smoking, but I don't hate smokers. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: homophobic

I don't believe we choose to be hated by everybody. If you were a homosexual or bisexual I think you might understand. It's what we like, not who we chose to be. If you like french fries and not curly fries, it's not like you CHOSE not to like them, right?
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: racist

No, it's more like (as I said before) smoking. A lot of people hate smoking, and get mistaken for hating smokers. If you were a homosexual or bisexual I think you might understand.Precisely. I am gay, but I choose to remain celebate. If you were a homosexual or bisexual you would know that not everyone chooses to lie with someone of the same sex, even if they desire it.

So, question. (I'm not trying to start anything or be a bitch) How can you be opposed to the act of homosexuality if you are (indeed) gay?
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: Both

How can you be opposed to the act of homosexuality if you are (indeed) gay?Good question. I feel it is immoral for someone of the same sex to lie with another. If I was to give in rather than resist, I would feel worse for making an immoral decision. Most people seem to misinterpret this as hating homosexuals, and quite easily fall for it, but in that logic they would have to hate fat people, smokers, drug users, alcoholics and the likes. To hate someone because of desiring to be with someone of the same sex (that being something they can't help) that's just as bad as being racist. If it were hating people who DID live the homosexual lifestyle then racism is worse, because you can change how you act, but not how you look.

Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?

Well, yes I suppose. I don't ever feel like murdering anyone of course because I'm a pacifist. I may talk big sometimes but I don't really like violence.Well... I was always told to be who I was and be what I want so, I don't really understand about changing how I feel.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: racist

As a person who encounters racism more than problems with homophobia, I am inclined to say racism is worse, but I DO realize that both are horrible and atrocious.I WILL say that, as a Christian, I AM in disagreement with homosexuality as a lifestyle. However there is a very STRONG line between disagreeing with something and actually causing harm to another person for having a difference in opinion.I DO however believe that homosexuality can be a choice. I have good friends who are gay, and even they can admit that they made a choice at some point in their lives. I think that it will depend on the person. [I STILL don't think it's genetic though. I think it's more of a mindset that one builds over time.]I also think racism MIGHT be worse due to how much more it effects the world we live in. Racism has caused so many problems to a WIDER population that homophobia, and it dictates so many things in our daily lives, like how we treat and see people before we get personal with them.Racism is an INITIAL response, but homophobia seems to be(form what I've seen) a gradual response. Either way, I DO believe that racism is worse than homophobia.
Debate: What's worse being Homophobic or racist?
Side: homophobic

When you are racist, you are limiting yourself from a wider range of people than being homophobic. Yes, there are a lot of homosexuals but when you are homophobic to a homosexual black man, you are limiting yourself from him, and not a whole race. (And i am not saying black people are homosexuals). In other words, what would you rather choose: have lots of opportunities of benefits and friends, or have less opportunites and friends. Well that depends on you, but i will choose the first option.

I reckon racism is the worst thing than being homophobic. that's my opinion if u don't support it that's our problem. I can respect gays but I don't really want to as in I'm forced to. in my religion as a Muslim gays don't exist or only there is males and females and that's what I go by. if u don't support my argument that's fine but I believe racism is more important than homophobia.

Racist. They tend to be gay...Nothing wrong with being a homophobe.You are saying that racists tend to be gay? A ludicrous statement.There is something wrong with being a homophobic, it is having a phobia towards a type of person. A person whom cannot help who they are, but are attacked both verbally and physically due to their orientation.To the debate question at hand: both due nothing to help the human race, and are nothing but detrimental. I would say both are equally in a state of worthlessness.
