Description

Is religion harmful?
Rules of the debate are: 1. Don't use logical fallacies. 2. No swearing or name calling. 3. Give evidence, and not feelings. 4. Stay on topic. 5. Give counter arguments. 6. Don't be stupid. 7. Don't be fool. Good luck.

Yes, they are inverted in my vote. The correct winner is still indicated in the actual allotment.

The addendum is full BoP would not be on the instigator. However the contender immediately gave evidence of harm done, at which point disproving the causal connection to that was the duty of the instigator.

Have you got Con and Pro mixed up?

Neal,
Welcome to the site. Your vote falls below the standards specified in the Code of Conduct (https://www.debateart.com/rules), additionally you're supposed to part in a couple debates before voting (it's kind of to ensure everyone has seen how fair voting is to be done, before they attempt it).

While I actually agree with you, I've reported your vote to the moderators for deletion. This isn't anything against you as a person, merely an attempt to uphold values of fairness debaters expect when their hard work is graded. For one such example, see my own vote on this debate: https://www.debateart.com/debates/1383/vote_links/3470 (notice that by default everything is a tie, but con actively came ahead on arguments so pulled that away from being a tie)

So your gonna run away>???

@Dr.Franklin

Can't even comprehend what I just instead resort to some random comment that he stole from someone.

Your cheap and incompetent.

I won't be responding given the last two things I have called you out for.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

An entire year of what, and tell feelings dont care about facts to your fellow leftists hyere

(Imabench)

-->
@Dr.Franklin

I showed an entire year. You showed one event. You definitely cherry picked.

Your feelings don't care about the facts.

Next time give an argument instead of saying no I don't feel that way.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

No, you are cheryypicking all you do is blame consveratives for everything when oiberal policies have killed milliomns

-->
@Dr.Franklin

Anecdote compared to an entire year?

I have called you out for the cheap tactic again either your mind is actually numb or you suffer from amnesia.

It is cherrypicking compared to what I gave.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I will try better next time. Just let how I need try better on my arguments for the theistic evolutionist worldview next time.

"right wing extremists who just so happen to be Christian "

Atheist who shot up a black church, huh

-->
@Dr.Franklin

Yep.

-->
@Dynasty

Do what you want too, it's you're debate

-->
@Dr.Franklin

Ok, then.

-->
@Dynasty

Yes, I get it something doesn't makes sense, but it shouldn't be a rule

-->
@Dr.Franklin

Have you read anything on logical fallacies?

-->
@Dynasty

thats not a logical fallacy, it's stearing off topic,etc

-->
@Dr.Franklin

Strawman, False cause, Non sequitur, etc.

-->
@Dynasty

Like what?

-->
@Dr.Franklin

I don't want people to commit logical fallacies in a debate.

-->
@Dynasty

why is logical fallacies a rule?
