My only error, in my eyes is I said greek paradigm when it was Norse.

Something interesting is that desert climates lead to monotheism while more cryptic climates with a lot of nature and caves etc, lead to polytheism.

I do think it was too much of an uphill battle that it was extremely unlikely that it could be turned around, but I don't discount the possibility of turning it around. There was just too much wasted potential in the first 2 rounds though.

I do not agree that Pro could win in round 3 but thanks for the vote, it was a solidly reasoned vote.

Thank you for your vote.

The devil actually always struck me as odd even as a child. There is something about the devil that implies either God has an alter ego or there is a being literally able to defy God, neither made proper sense to me but I assert that Satan is not Lucifer and instead is an alter ego of God if the Bible is true.

That website you love has made an expansion for bias types, such as:
https://yourbias.is/just-world-hypothesis

there's only 3 days left to vote.

I'll try to look at this in the next couple days.

In Hinduism, Shri Krishna showed Arjuna his Celestial appearance (Vishwa-swaroopa) and proved that he was God. Lord Rama had legendary powers, but chose not to use them. He defeated evil as a mortal and not as a God. They both showed that the real power comes from within and belief in the Para-Brahman.

Lord Shiva is the most powerful God in Hinduism, not because he has the third eye. It is because he IS Para-Brahman. He is infinite. He controls the flow of time. He is master of death. He is the very breath that we take and give out. He is the cosmic destroyer.

“Ananta koti Brahmandanayaka “ Literally means ‘O Lord of infinite crore Universes.’ Someone who is existent yet non-existant and who is capable of taking out an infinite number of universes by just opening his third eye is kind of hard to beat, don't you think?

I will get around to voting within the next few days, a little busy today and tomorrow so don't expect it immediately.

you can now vote.

Have to say, this could have been an interesting debate but it is just so disappointing...

@Conservallectual

If you want to do this debate a second time then I would be game. Just let me know when you would like to give it a shot.
