Reason:

Conduct to con for the forfeit.

So; the main issue here revolves around being a true Christian and what it means. Pros “No true Scotsman” was well pointedlut. Pro needs to come up with a high quality and substantial and objective reason to believe that Catholics cannot be considered “true” Christians.

Pros primary contention revolve around listing points of Dogma and claiming that Catholics interpretation is wrong and his is correct. Con - to his credit - points out this issue, and that there is no definitive translation that is more correct than any other pointed it and justified for one to judge. Most importantly con points out Catholics are Christians, and while there are differences in beliefs, he points out that this does not mean they are necessarily not “true” Christians. As pro did not defend any of his claims against this criticism - cons argument stands and thus con gets arguments too.

POOR CONDUCT

Pro has ff the majority of the rounds of the debate which is poor conduct

I ask the other voters to consider this when voting on conduct as well.
