@MisterChris

thanks for voting

@PressF4Respect

I sure hope your R1 forfeit is not going to continue. I really look forward to your arguments.

I misspoke; the re-definition is of "subjective," not "morality." Sorry for the confusion. This will be clarified in my round 1.

@PressF4Respect

Based on our PMs, I accept the debate and will offer my alternate definition of morality in my R1.

@Patmos

The argument I have in mind accounts for religion.

-->
@PressF4Respect

The problem I see with this debate is that I believe that in the absence of God morality is subjective. So this debate would have to be over whether or not God exists which I don't think is what you're after.

@PressF4Respect

No thanks

Interested?

@Jarrett_Ludolph

If no one takes this debate then I could lower it to the point which you could accept it

-->
@PressF4Respect

I wish I could accept this debate. I have shown that I'm at least a competent debater.

Although I could lower the requirements if needs be.

@seldiora

I can see quite a few people above 1600 who would be willing and able to take this challenge.

@PressF4Respect

You might as well directly challenge Misterchris. He is the only user above 1600 who wants and can argue con side well.
