You can report them. I'll take a look later.
then apply your standards evenly and delete the 3 remaining votes in the debate where none of the voters actually compare my argument to con's
You can vote again, but give me a detailed reason,
You pointed to arguments presented by Pro, said they outweigh everything, and then said they outweigh Con. That is not, nor has it ever been, sufficient to cast a vote on this site. Any vote is a comparison between sides, weighing one side's points against another. If you are proclaiming one side better because their impacts matter more, then you still have to say why the other side's points don't stack up by comparison, which requires pointing to what those impacts are and explaining why they matter less.
My vote was clearly valid assuming you don't need to demonstrate that you actually comprehend both sides which seems to be the case in all my debates. I said that his arguments outweigh cons and I said why.
No one mentioned my arguments in the atheism debate, they only mentioned how me and my opponent defined the terms.
There's a difference between not meeting your understanding of your arguments and not mentioning those arguments at all. We might disagree on what constitutes understanding of your arguments, but not whether or not someone even mentions the specifics of one sides' arguments in their RFD.
And I'm making my way through quite a few votes reports tonight. Some of the ones that you reported should be among those.
I find it interesting that you can delete my vote but not votes against me that literally just say "it was good".
If you must evaluate points by both sides then go delete every vote on the atheism debate, none of which even demonstrate that they understood my arguments.
>Vote: FishChaser // Mod action: Removed
>Voting Policy: info.debateart.com/terms-of-service/voting-policy
>Points Awarded: 1 to Pro
>Reason for Decision:
Pro appeals to longevity and happiness, which are the most important things for individuals and thus outweighs con's arguments.
Reason for Removal: The voter points to specific arguments from Pro's side of the debate and declares them the most important without comparing them to Con's points. Voters must evaluate points made by both sides in the debate to award arguments.
**************************************************
Fishchaser reason for vote is not acceptable, he says pro is won due to pro's happiness
Thanks,vote
CON ROUND TWO CLEARER ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Respected pro:
I already said religion was beneficial during our older generations, because in before there was no internet, communication, people usually work and fight , their free time is high.
But nowadays religion is turned into commercial, business, many people spending much money in it even though they are poor, hereby I give following statistics.
. Spending on Religious Services:
Urban India: 5.7% of monthly per capita expenditure is spent on religious services.
Rural India: Around 9% of monthly per capita expenditure is spent on religious services.
Poorest 20% in rural areas: 7% of their monthly expenses are on religious activities.
Richest 20% in rural areas: Almost 10% of total expenditure is on religious activities.
From this we can understand , poor people spend 10 % of their earnings into religious , They are thinking religion and praying God make them rich , they don't trust their soul, these superstitious belief is very danger.
People may kill people for their religion, In some religions like Muslims, some Muslims are very religious , they dot let their girls to work, higher studies , many restrictions to girls.
We want religion, but not these older religion, religion should not be commercial, it must not intrude in our personal life.
Gaining hope:
" WE SHOULD NOT LIVE FOR RELEGION,WE MUST LIVE FOR OUR FAMILY"
Gaining knowledge :
" WE MUST ALLOW GIRLS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE, NOT WASTING TIME IN RELIGION"
PURPOSE:
"Living for our soul, not for others soul"
"Soul is the greatest God, Humanity is our one and only religion"
CON ROUND ONE CLEARER ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Welcome:
"Religious people live longer than atheists."
My opponent, where did you get this data?
Religion is the best:
Why am I saying this? Am I contradicting myself? Yes, religion was valuable in the past. Earlier generations may have created religion to serve a purpose back then.
Religion is the worst (now):
Religion today has become problematic. Many major terrorist attacks are driven by extreme religious beliefs. Just saying "religion has changed" doesn't solve the problem—current religions are outdated. Many have become scams or commercialized.
Does religion reduce stress? Maybe, but stress often comes from laziness or boredom. In those moments, it's better to go to entertaining or natural places. There's not much to experience in a church or temple. They might reduce stress a little, but they don’t offer much to explore. A trip, on the other hand, gives us new experiences.
Religious beliefs often turn into superstitions, which can be dangerous. Why do we still follow these old, outdated traditions? We don’t use other outdated things from the past—so why religion?
We should create a new kind of religion: a religion of science. One world, one belief system. Old religions waste time. Museums are the temples of the modern generation. We should explore and learn from them instead of spending money on religion.
