@fauxlaw

that's fine you don't have to vote

@fauxlaw

Are you referring to the description? I didnt initiate this debate

-->
@Sum1hugme

Yes, and you even noted that the debate should attract atheists, which I took to mean as debate opponents, but that probably might have extended to voters, as well. I'll try to make comment further after the vote is finished.

@fauxlaw

I understand. Honestly, i figured most believers wouldn't want to touch this debate out of personal bias. That's why I was somewhat surprised Ragnar voted.

I would normally be very interested in voting on this debate, but I am too close to the subject, and have too many personal thoughts on it that I'm afraid they would sway a fair, unbiased vote, so I think I'll pass on this one. Besides, I am currently involved in a debate with Benjamin that is much the same subject that would further influence my vote, I'm afraid. Sorry, guys. I'm sure this will attract sufficient voters to compensate. Good luck to both.

If doing this one again, I suggest picking a single book of the bible, and a clear standard for evil (or with the one you're using, a clear standard of good).

There are also easily digestible sources for key bits. Like when I talk about the book of Job, I use a clip from South Park so that everyone is on the same page.

@adambeauvsais

Yeah no problem.

-->
@Sum1hugme

I like to say is thank you you giving me great arguments, I had fun and also good luck in your future debates.

-->
@fauxlaw

thank you, and good luck in your debate.

@fauxlaw

Though it seems hasty to kill someone because of what they MIGHT do rather than what they DID do, wouldn't you say?

-->
@adambeauvsais

Good argument in your round 2 regarding the potential of parents to corrupt their children, and their being spared of that consequence, even by their death at God’s hand due to the wickedness of the adults. Since death is not a permanent condition, it is merely the last enemy that will be defeated.

-->
@Benjamin

Well thanks

-->
@Sum1hugme

Interesting argument:

"If we assume God is all-powerful, we are assuming that he could always do otherwise"

I like that line of reasoning.

@Sum1hugme

It´s fine man

Sorry for the typos, I speech to texted this this morning.
