Debate: Is there God?
Side: No

Bwahaha, same thing you do to everyone. I am not surprised. One last rebuttal, just for old times sake I guess.First off by 'in this thread' I meant this debate, not just ours. LilMisfit (among others) destroyed your claim about the Lady of Guadalupe, you just assert they are all wrong with no line of reasoning other than 'christians laugh at those claims'. You do not refute hardly any of your opponents points with any stout evidence or lines or reasoning.As for your poll I did answer it and any reasonable person would see the difference. But hey, you do not accept my breakdown of it so here is a a bigger poll than yours that delineates the difference between the terms.http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/01/national/01beliefs.html?pagewanted=2&_r=0 Data from six General Social Surveys conducted by the National Opinion Research Center from 1988 to 2000 actually show that 8 percent of the nation's adults opt for the statement "I don't believe in a personal God, but I do believe in a higher power of some kind."Don't like that poll? How about a Gallup poll that delineates the difference between the terms that you say are equal and it is within the same margin as the other poll.http://www.gallup.com/poll/147887/americans-continue-believe-god.aspx However, past Gallup surveys have shown that not all Americans are absolutely certain in their beliefs about God. Given the ability to express doubts about their beliefs, the percentage who stick to a certain belief in God drops into the 70% to 80% range. Additionally, when Americans are given the option of saying they believe in a universal spirit or higher power instead of in "God," about 12% choose the former. Still, the May 2011 poll reveals that when given only the choice between believing and not believing in God, more than 9 in 10 Americans say they do believe.The Gallup poll even notes when given a limited choice it affects the outcome, last sentence of the above poll in case you missed it.Seems professionals deem the wordings of your claim to differ despite you saying they do not. The findings between these polls are in line with my claim of the amount of people making up near the difference you claim is not there. Huh, not only did I note where your poll differs and these polls back up my claim it is within the amount I said as well. It is as if I have experience or education in reading things like this...Professional polls noting the difference described not enough? There are people in this debate (not between us, in the whole debate) making claims of they don't believe in a god but they do believe in a higher power. Heck AA uses the term 'higher power' as it includes other forms besides god, some religious groups even made comments trying to get their wording changed! It seems you are not seeing the difference for whatever reason but others clearly do.This is just another example of you being incredibly unreasonable with your opponents evidence and reasoning but so slack about your own. All throughout this debate (not just ours) you have been called out on this behavior. Your lack of self reflection is why I am backing out, as I said I like to have mutual discussions.Oh, and your questions at the end of your last rebuttal...already answered them in our...conversation. I have no reason to believe in a god, it is not up to me to disprove something that hasn't been proven, that is shifting the onus.
