Goodbye Jesus

Lets debate


Jon

Recommended Posts

I hope you present a better arguement for the existence of the Christian God than in your other posts. I would like to see a well rounded debate with more than 4 sentences.

Just highlighting this rule for Jon that florduh posted to reiterated my previous statement.

Don't forget ya have 1500 words you can use in your opening statement. This should be interesting

 

 

 

Evidence- ONLY use evidence that is accurate and thoroughly referenced in your presentation. Evidence will be accurately and directly quoted. (ALL EVIDENCE MUST BE FROM A PUBLISHED SOURCE, AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, AND VERIFIABLE.) The first time a source is presented, the debater must state the full source when introducing the evidence. A “full source” is assumed to include author’s name, author’s qualifications (when apparent in the original), full date, and title of source with page numbers. Once a source has been cited, evidence subsequently cited from the source need only include the author and/or publication name as well as a phrase along the lines of “previously cited.”

Do misspellings count as words in the 1500 word  limit?

What do i have to do?

Do i ask a question in arena and ask L.B to answer it?

Will everyone else keep out or is it open to comments?

Read. Learn things. Pay attention. Now go debate, it's your turn.

A question to Florduh.

 

Will there be a peanut gallery running in parallel to this debate?

 

Thanks,

 

BAA.

Feel free to post your peanut gallery comments here. Anyone who would rather start another thread for that purpose, please feel free to do so. This is assuming Jon actually posts his opening in the Arena!

@bornagainathiest

I would consider that a likely outcome.

I had hopes that after the first few posts Jon got blasted on he would frame his arguments better, but I was sorely disappointed. I hope he doesn't expect his vague one liners to convince anyone of bible gods truthfulness. After reading the rules florduh posted I think giving him 3 days to make his opening statement is fair. But if he continues using the same tactics he has in the past I am going to consider him a troll and would like to see him banned. I think this debate should be the deciding point for jon's continued membership. I don't know the rules concerning what constitutes a ban. But so far it seems like he only tries to stir the pot and incite us to argue with no viable responses. I, for one am getting tired of it. 

 

I hope this is the turning point one way or the other.

Jon has been wanting to do this for weeks. He's had a willing opponent for weeks. Now we're just waiting for Jon's opening statement. The thread will, as always, automatically close after 30 days of inactivity.

In that story the kid won. Something tells me that that will not be the outcome here. ;) 

 

I almost feel sorry for him in his naivety.

I suspect Jon feels he will win. So i thought it was apt for him... I was thinking in reality it will be more like Kong:Skull island and LB is Kong.

It should be entertaining, to say the least. ;)

Give him time. He's not used to writing more than a couple lines. ;) 

 

I hope he at least uses a spellchecker before posting.

He brought it up weeks ago. I would assume he had something in mind then, but it took awhile to pin him down on a coherent topic. It's show time, the restless crowd is stamping its collective feet........

Hey folks,

 

It is quite possible that Jon's time on this forum will be a learning experience for him, so let's make it a good one.

Possible... but neither plausible nor probable, if historical data is any indication.
