Description

Burden of proof on Pro.

Don't be stupid with the definitions. Use common sense.

*******************************************************************
>Reported Vote: RationalMadman // Mod action: Removed

>Points Awarded: 3 points to Con (arguments), 2 points to Pro (sources)

>Reason for Decision: Pro used better sources than Con, you can't deny this. Con needs to source better and never claim things without referencing how he knows them. I get that this was very philosophical but why not quote reliable sources that counter aspects of God and let them speak for you? Well anyway, Pro used iffy blog-like sources, the third being a YouTube video but it's indisputably better than nothing.

Con does the correct scapegoat for the atheist and wins the debate in my eyes. The whole "but what if it just happened and no one or no thing made it happen in any consciously controlled manner?" angle is the classic cowardly atheist angle and works perfect here. Pro knew that he had met a good hider of God and forfeits the debate.

PS: God is a female and I firmly believe in her.

>Reason for Mod Action: The voter does not explain how Con's arguments impacted the debate. Merely restating Con's argument and claiming that it "works perfect here" is insufficient. Why did it work perfectly there? Furthermore, the voter does not explain how the use of sources impacted the debate. Per the voting policy: "this requires that the voter explain how the sources impacted the debate, directly assessing the strength of at least one source, and explaining how it either strengthened or weakened the argument it was utilized for."

I wasn't aware that images weren't allowed in this debate. For my original argument, which almost depends on these images, see here.https://www.debateisland.com/discussion/comment/27699/#Comment_27699

I think the colors are supposed to indicate it... would be better if it just said "PRO" and "CON"

But anyways, I'm CON, and whoever accepts the debate would be PRO.

Who are Pro and Con in this debate?

Common sense would lead one to be atheist, it takes sense far superior to common sense to conclude that God exists so saying 'common sense' is rigging it for you. The way to prove god requires very abnormal definitions and understating of what God is.
