Reason:

Argument - Whilst I disagree with Pros reasoning for quitting the debate, Pro did indeed quit the debate and made absolutely nor rebuttals nor arguments in two rounds and appears to have offered the equivalent of a concession, and writes: "I apologize for Forfeiting the 2nd round, as it is exam season. I will be quitting this debate on the front that I am a Christian, and therefore biased. I will pick topics more wisely in the future.". This is clearly a loss of argument. And even in the instance that an argument justification is still required to warrant a victory for Con, I feel it was "absolutely imperative" that Pro answer this question here " Before I even begin unpacking this section, I urge you to note that using the bible as a source without proving it's credibility is a disastrous move to make. How do you know the the bible isn't just some imaginative guys journal? How do you know it is actually Gods word? What makes it a credible source?", and completely failed to do so with his forfeiture and apparent concession- Con

Sources - I have already included Cons argument regarding using the bible as a source in my justification for awarding him with the argument points, and therefore I feel I must factor in that Pro used a good few other sources which were non biblical and not challenged by Pro. Con himself produced sources which went unchallenged - Tie

S&G - Nothing stood out from either participant - Tie

Conduct - A concession is extremely honest and gracious and I feel should be rewarded with a thank you - Pro
