>Reported Vote: Ragnar // Mod action: Removed

>Points Awarded: 3 points to con for arguments

>Reason for Decision: The resolution says can’t, to which pro agrees it sometimes (even if not always) does. Con on the other hand shows that as a trade medium money is all about buying happiness.

>Reason for Mod Action: To award argument points, the voter must (1) survey the main arguments and counterarguments in the debate, (2) weigh those arguments and counterarguments against each other, and (3) explain, based on the weighing process, how they reached their decision. I don't see enough weighing here and I don't see the voter's justification in the debate text.

CVB are not really allowed. If you have a problem with any vote (even mine, as it was very concise; and if anyone has a complaint, I am happy to lengthen it) just report them... You can in addition to reporting, post a message tagging the voter and the vote moderators (Bsh1, Ramshutu, and virtuoso) with a reason why you question the validity of the vote (as I just demonstrated on one of your votes on another debate).

Cvb?

that isnt proof that isnt even good poetry you stooge

@billbatard

Many ask me what proof is there that there is a god. a lot of time the proof is right in front of them you just have to look in a mirror.

Do you feel emotions when you hurt someone. If you say no gods moral system has effected you biologically.

Doing bad thing makes you less likely to feel guilty. This is because god has hardened your heart. And his morals law has effected you biologically

@billbatard

Secondly you did not disprove my happy points. All that video said was getting stuff can make you happy.

They a went around people asking them what made them happy.

They asked them if ten weeks of vacation made them happy they said yes

The asked them if 36 hour work weeks made them happy they said yes.

The young Turk guy in the video even said money can buy happiness. Which disagree with your own debate

@crossed

None of the factors you point to as prove of god are anything of the sort , there are plenty of logical alternatives to an invisible boogey man

@billbatard

it works both ways. proving that god moral system exist proves god exist. in this case morality.

Lets say someone is nice person but poor. But the person is happy. But lets say he decides to betray his friends and he becomes mean and earns millions. He becomes restless as a result of him being mean. so he ask himself i have all of this but i feel empty. he does not know why he is less happy then when he was poor.But it is because he was nice to people when he was poor. he is mean now and gods morals effect us biologically

So this person restlessness and depression was caused by him being a mean person.His previous happiness was caused by him being a good person. He was happy when he was nice to everyone even though he was poor. But when he betrayed his friends for money he became restless. It was him being mean that caused his sadness. So God made it so his morality effects us biologically. If we are a bad person we become restless and unhappy. But if we are good people we are at peace.

come on wussies fight me!

@crossed

before you can atribute feelings to god will you have to prove god exists and you cant you pretend to but you dont

Eh I am 50/50 to this. You cannot buy your way out of sadness, but being broke isn't exactly favorable either.

If I name my dog "happiness" and sell it, someone bought happiness with money.

-->
@billbatard

The reason why mean people don't feel happy Even though they have billions of dollars. Is because Gods morale system effects us biologically and it will make you restless even if you have lots of money. Gods morale system effects mean people biologically

Giving to other can help with many chronic diseases. This is because gods moral system effects us biologically.

If you are mean to others your life is shortened and you become depressed.Because gods moral system effects us biologically. If i recall right Solomon described a depression like thing he developed when he got greedy and had 6000 wife's Then god took everything away and punished him. But When he obeyed god he did not have it. So this depression was caused by Solomon being a bad person. He said when he obeyed god he was at peace when he disobeyed he was restless depresses.

Solomon was all happy when he ruled and obeyed god he was at peace. But when he decided to have 6000 wife's and lost his kingdom because god took it away. He was depressed and restless. Gods morale system effects us biologically

I don't remember it has been a while since i read the bible. It took me a year to go through the thing
