Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Absolutely

So what you are saying is that whenever I see a young, black, male, I should keep my distance? I should not approach him? I should not ask him any questions? And, above all, if he starts to bash my head against the ground, I should NOT shoot him? Isn't that racist ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

Ok, but assuming every black male doesn't belong in your neighborhood is not racist.
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

Zimmerman didn't assume. He knew for a fact that he had never seen Trayvon in his neighborhood before. Probably because Trayvon spent most of his time either at his mother's house or behind the local 7-11 dealing pot ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Absolutely

Oh, now you want to tell me that the black kid sells pot. I am the racist?
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Absolutely

Haven't you been keeping up with the story? It came out that Trayvon was on pot, dealt pot, etc. It's a fact. Since when are facts racists ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

I don't remember the dealing pot part.
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

I find that if you say something with authority, most people don't bother to check ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

So, if it is not a fact, does that make you a racist again? ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

No, it does not.http://gawker.com/5897485/white-supremacist-hacks-trayvon-martins- email-account-leaks-messages-online The information that he dealt drugs is out there. Whether it's true or not is another issue. My understanding is that he dealt drugs. I have to go with that until it is shown not to be the case. ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

This isn't about you, is it racist for a white supremacist to hack a black guys social accounts and post them, or is it just the truth? Your link got me to thinking that.
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

Is the NSA racist? They hack into black guys accounts too ;)The truth demands to be free ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Absolutely

If it turns out to be true that Trayvon attacked a bus driver days before attacking Zimmerman..., I would think that's useful information ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

The NSA doesn't target individuals, they want everybody. I just thought it was weird, too. But of course when a declared racist plots against the race he doesn't like, it must be a racist act, right.
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

Who's the declared racist? The people who wrote the article? Are they "white power arians?" If so, wouldn't they be against both Trayvon AND Zimmerman? What am I missing? ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

This is the article you posted man. They are saying it was racist to post all of the delinquent activity that Trayvon was up to. The declared racists are the white supremacist who hacked the web pages, and anyone else who tried to find out if Trayvon was a trouble maker.Of course, the actual racists are the people who wrote the article.
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

Thank God I didn't write that article ;)
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

There were witnesses that saw Treyvon mashing Zimmerman's head into the ground, but Zimmerman SHOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING IDENTIFICATION! Treyvon Martin obviously thought Zimmerman was stalking him! I hope neighborhood watch group I.D. is the one good thing that will come out of this case.
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Absolutely

Is it possible that Zimmerman did something wrong leading up to him getting smashed in the head?
Debate: Did George Zimmerman Do Anything Wrong?
Side: Self Defense

This debate is not set up right. He did do something wrong but he did act in self defence. He should of listen to the cop and should have addressed himself to Trayvon. Trayvon thought he was a sex offender or something of the sort and attacked him in self defence. Zimmerman thought he was being attacked and he was. So really nether of them where in the wrong.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I think there were some guy 2000 years ago who thought people weren't being very nice to each other. He then figured that the only way to make people listen to him is to tell them that he were the son of God. The end justifies the means right?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

No, this is about the little thing if he ever existed in a first place.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Well, the question in the title is did the guy ever exist, which he answered. The description however is Do you think Jesus, the Jesus of the christian faith, existed?, so his answer was not following that, but the Jesus he is talking about probably would be the one mentioned in the Bible, so he did answer properly.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

We can take the logic even further than that. Why was Jesus crucified then?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

He was a homeless cult leader claiming that he is a god. They showed him that he isn't :D
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Jesus never claimed to be a god. He claimed to be the "son of god". Any more inaccurate and lame statements?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Jesus never claimed to be a god. He claimed to be the "son of god" How is it any different?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I hope no one takes offense to this, but he was crucified because he was a trouble maker. The Romans weren't too happy about his following and dealt with him.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

So what is the following talking about?"Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

I am not into your book of fiction, so I don't really care what it says. Nowhere in there does it say anything about a crucifiction. He was crucified by the Romans. They did it because he was causing problems. You may have described why he was destined for that, but not the why historically. Is every guy who gets tortured and killed Jesus?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

What is the passage talking about?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Is it?why he was destined for thatNot the historical why.It's not my passage why don't you tell me?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Well.. there have been plenty of Jesus' till this day.I just don't believe that a certain Jesus came to this planet, born by a virgin, walked on water, died on a cross so people can enter heaven.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

...born by a virgin... is a miss translation, error that happen during translation from Hebrew to Greek, later was added the story about ghost fucking Mary.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Can you prove that? Because churches would have reformed by now.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

It's a well known. Church used to kill everyone who mentioned it for sorcery/blasphemy, etc.The mistranslation occurred when this text was translated into Greek, where the word “parthenos” meaning virgin is used. The Hebrew word for virgin is “bethulah” and cannot be found anywhere in the original Hebrew text, meaning that the original writer did not intend for it to be read as “virgin” but as “young” girl.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

There are scholars that study greek, hebrew, latin, etc. They would have found it by now. Show me some hard evidence. Because the bible strictly inplies her not having sex and being of virgin birth. Let me see some evidence.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

People who studies greek, hebrew, latin, etc usually study the modern languages not ancient ones.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

People study the ancient text. Stop avoiding the proof. Let me see this hardcore evidence.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Portal about translations http://translation.komalingua.com/en/component/k2/item/157-young-mary-vs-virgin-mary-a-mistranslation-of-epic-proportions.html
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Your evidence comes from a biased site and if this was true churches would reform. The bible implies virgin birth.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Do you really think so that organisation that has spent 1500 years by slaughtering everyone who has disagreed with it, would "reform"? Really? Just look how they are covering child molesting...
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

That is the catholics. I am talking about your typical Christian. You are avoiding the main point. Churches would reform or this would make mass news.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Catholics are the major Christian Church. Try to Google some details on your own. It's really a mistranslation, I've spent a great deal of time by looking around the internet and it's really an error.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

How is that site biased? It a portal about Translation, please tell me.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Most pastors I know, study greek, hebrew and latin.One of all those would have found out Jesus wasn't really born by a virgin by now.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I'm sorry, I don't understand really.I've never heard that there was a mistranslation. What was the original story? Was Mary a ghost?Not that it changes my views on Jesus - whether his mom was a virgin or a ghost sounds just as crazy to me.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Yeah, that was all just exaggeration and absurdities from religionist to make the story more fantastic and supernatural. Or else nobody will ever join them religion.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Agreed, although I can't figure out why you disputed me - it sounds like you agree but I'm not sure :p
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

oops...my apology. I totally agree with you. ~ I missed click the dispute. my bad
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Please name one that moverd the the Jewish people the way he did (the one Christians follow).
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I can't :)I believe the jesus stuff is a tale, someone created a story. I don't believe he took over the jewish people
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

He didn't "take over" the Jewish people, they followed him by their own choice. They're were several instances where he left during preaching because they wanted to make him king.Also:http://www.probe.org/site/c.fdKEIMNsEoG/b.4223639/k.567/AncientEvidenceforJesusfromNonChristianSources.htmhttp://carm.org/proof-that-jesus-existedhttp://carm.org/jesus-existhttp://carm.org/does-bible-provide-extraordinary-evidence-jesus-resurrectionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity ofJesus
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

No matter what you dig up from the internet, you can not prove Jesus is the son of God, you can not prove he walked on water, you can not prove he turned water into wine.I believe Jesus existed, for all I know he could easily have been crucified, as that was a very popular penalty at the time.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

You're right, I can bring up all my internet sources i want, your still going to believe what you want. However, they're is more historical proof for the existence Jeus and what he did than many historic events. Jesus preached on many things that were CONSIDERED to be directy against the Torah and Jewish tradition. Jesus preached forgiveness of sins not through sacrifice (minus himself), a trinity (he himself is God), and many others I can't think of off the top of my head (I will message you the rest when i remember them) , worshiped on Sunday instead of Saturday, and the still followed a dead Nazarene carpenter. Why else would they do this unless he performed the miracles prtrayed in the gospel? Eyewitness accounts are unreliable? THEY WERE JEWISH! Their entire culture revolved around keeping the Jewish faith and culture pure, yet this Nazarene carpenter changed that.They would've done everything they could have to erase this man named Jesus, unless they truly believed he was who he said he was.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

historical proof for the existenceI never disbelieved the existence of Jesus, I just don't believe he is the son of God.what he did than many historic events.Can you prove to me that he walked on water? Can you prove to me that he is the son of God? Solid evidence?Why else would they do this unless he performed the miracles prtrayed in the gospel?So the proof why Jesus is son of God, is that people switched from saturday to sunday?Eyewitness accounts are unreliableYour so called ''eyewitnesses'' are 2000 years old. You don't have any eyewitnesses, they, if they ever existed, are dead.Their entire culture revolved around keeping the Jewish faith and culture pure, yet this Nazarene carpenter changed thatSo your reasons for believing in Jesus is because a number of people switched from jewish to christian?Many people have switched from christian to islam - why aren't you islamic? Many people switched from christian to atheist - why aren't you atheistic?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

"Your so called ''eyewitnesses'' are 2000 years old. You don't have any eyewitnesses, they, if they ever existed, are dead."True, the we have the records of them though. Their are some "contradictions" amongst the gospels but 90% of the story and the entire core of the events remain the same."So the proof why Jesus is son of God, is that people switched from saturday to sunday?"No, you skipped all the other things I listed.Yes, many have converted to various religions. However this is the only MASS conversion with a change this great. Islam was first spread through military conquest, Christianity was spread through Christ and the allure of the compassion of the followers of it. Also, we are only scratching the surface. Many people pick away at one topic at a time and straw man the Christian arguements. You mentioned how crucifixion was a common execution method. This is true, but the prophecy for it was written 400 years before it. People get tripped up on oh the stupid Christians mistranslated the word virgin, thats great, you still have 300+ more prophecies to deal with that Christ fullfilled. You claim to adknowledge the historical presence of Jeus but ignore the why of why thousands of Jews converted AT ONCE if he wasn't who he said he was.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

True, the we have the records of them though. Their are some "contradictions" amongst the gospels but 90% of the story and the entire core of the events remain the same.Records, meaning what?All the things you listed aren't even proved. The things you say proves Jesus, aren't proved to happen themselves.Just accept the fact that you can not prove that a man 2000 years ago is the son of God, there is simply no chance that you can prove that.You can come up with all these 'theories' of yours, but a theory is just a theory.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Most of the Gospels were written in the 1st century (excluding John). Their is no way for me to give you tangible evidence, but it makes the most logical sense. What else got them to believe him? He hypnotized a crowd of 5,000 to make them think he fed them all from a small meal? Please provide another theory. Saying he did not perform miracles leaves me to wonder why thousands of Jews would follow him. You say he existed but not his miracles, why else would they follow him? If his miracles do exist and happened, who else would he be?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Their is no way for me to give you tangible evidence,Thank you for that realization.but it makes the most logical sense.Really, does it really?????What else got them to believe himDo you have any proof that they actually did believe him?Yesterday I told 5 of my friends that I am actually a man - they all believed me.See? It is that easy to claim 5 people believe what I said, even though it is a lie.Please provide another theory.I'll give you two.1. Someone wrote down a story, that a man fed 5000 people with 2 fish and 5 pieces of bread.. those 5000 people didn't exist and it was all a tale.2. Jesus fed 5000 people with 5000 fish and 5000 pieces of bread, and someone thought it would be a nice story if there were only 2 fish and 5 pieces of bread.Saying he did not perform miracles leaves me to wonder why thousands of Jews would follow himDo you have proof proving they actually followed him?f his miracles do exist and happened, who else would he beA superhero from a fairytale.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

You are missing my main point. The audience of Jesus and the authors of the Gospels were Jewish. Imagine the moral you hold dearest and being convinced to change it. The modern people do not understand the firmness the Jews had of their faith because today people dabble in many different religions and even combine without a care in the world. the historical accuracy of the Gospels is proven.http://www.dartmouthapologia.org/articles/show/85 We also havent dealt with the epistles.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I see your point, it is you who don't see mine.Prove to me that Jesus' audience turned. Prove to me that Jesus' even had an audience.Just because you are born jewish doesn't mean that is the thing you hold the dearest. The christian belief could've easily been made by some rebel jewish guys.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I realize your point as well, now that i look at it. However the Jewish higher-ups so to speak used the blasphemy and other death sentences to keep these Jewish rebels from doing so.. This pushes them from having to be Jewish rebels to actually having to believe what they were doing. Which goes back to my main point. Why would they put their life on the line? The writings we have are from the 1st and mid-2nd century. The Roman church couldn't have interfered because Rome was still anit-Christian.By this time we have the epistles (by Jews) as well which show their authenticity. Paul is a switch/ convert because he once killed Christians, now he is one.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Why would they put their life on the line?Why do teenagers use drugs, alcohol or smoke? Cigarettes is well known to be one of the biggest killers of them all, alcohol and drugs are also well known for not doing anything besides bad stuff for you and your body. Why would teenagers put their life on the line for that?If the story you just told is true, then all christians would be dead by now, killed by the jewish people.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Wow...that comparison isn't accurate at all. Drugs don't mean immediate death by stoning, proclaiming Jesus's message did. And once again, you can pick apart a piece all you want, another part springs you back. You haven't disproven anything, you've just proven your inability to look on the legitimacy of a religion.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

"If the story you just told is true, then all christians would be dead by now, killed by the jewish people."Not by the Jews, but by everybody else yes. Even in America Christians are getting less and less rights to express our faith. Example, the military is getting ready to take out chaplains.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

why else would they follow him?Jesus said that they didn't have to follow the incredibly strict rules of the Old Testament if they followed him. How convenient.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

At first glance you would have seemed to have disputed me, but let's take a more careful glance at the gospels. Jesus relaxed the restrictions the Sadducees had placed in the law, but these laws were man made. The one's God put in place, Jesus placed even more clarity into them. Ex. he took adultery a step further to say if you even looked upon a woman you had committed adultery in your heart. No, they followed him for the reason he said he did when he said he did in the synagogue. Luke 4:14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,to set the oppressed free,
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Wether you believe his teachings or not, he existed. The idea that he came from just a bunch of myths is stupid, even from an atheist stand point. There is Roman evidence that he lived. Jesus existed undoubtedly, but the religious question is "Does he still exist?" I say yes.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

There is Roman evidence that he lived What evidence are you talking about? :D
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

here,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity ofJesusOviously he did, otherwise peter wouldn't be able to spread it that well. Or maybe he could.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

none of the "key sources" are from time of Jesus life... and the best one is a one sentence with a word similar to "Christians" Somehow the original have been lost and we have only version rewritten by Christian priest...
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Whether you believe in god or not you cant deny the fact that Jesus existed..
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I think he did exist but would have gone by the Hebrew version of the name being a Jew and all, whether he was the son of God or not I don't know.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

That is the point, if there are so many uncertainties, half truths, gaps, mistranslations... something is wrong, isn't it?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I don't disagree, I have always said the Bible has been translated too many times for it to be 100% accurate, something always gets lost in translation add to that it was written hundreds of years after the death of Christ. Its like a game of Chinese Whispers that has been translated at the end, I've always said its an interesting read but more like a real life Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, it'll guide you through life but will probably give you as many questions as it will provide answers.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I believe that a man named Josephous refered to him. I probably misspelled the name though.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Jesus is just a name given to a character. the character himself was one of the many so called messiahs at the time. He may not have been called Jesus. he was (in my opinion as an atheist) not the son of god, but he certainly did exist whoever he was.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I'm sure he existed. But he was a normal man, not God's son.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

Lizziex ? :D
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Huh?I'm not sure what are you talking about. xD Sorry :/
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

Why did you state the other half of my user name.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

I am sure he did and became a martyr. I just dont think the man was God. Or did miracles or whatever.
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: No

What makes you sure in the fist place ?
Debate: Did Jesus exist?
Side: Yes

There are other books that say he did and take account of what happened to Jesus. Books like Josephus or Tacitus or the Talmud or even studying the acts of Pontius Pilate shows he did.
