Description

I will be forfeiting Round 1 because I require arguments to rebut.
It is Con's burden to prove the existence of God.
My burden is to rebut the claims brought forward.

-->
@Alec

I think there's a good chance I got a 5, this was way easier than my mock and I feel like I had a good grip on it

Then again I got a 2 on my mock so who knows lol

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

This is an exception, I require arguments to rebut. I can't simply make my own arguments because then I would be potentially straw-manning my opponent's position.

-->
@Speedrace

What score do you think you got on the test? I think I got a 2 or 3 on my test.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Oh i thought u didn't like to forfeit rounds. What a shame you are going against rules you thought were stupid. Dont u want to maximize argument space? smh hypocrit

-->
@Alec

Thanks lol me too

-->
@Speedrace

Hope you get a 5 on both.

@Alec

I just took AP Lang today and I’m taking AP World History tomorrow

-->
@Speedrace

I know that feeling. What AP test?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I’m studying for AP tests, so I’m not accepting any new debates

-->
@Speedrace

Do you want to debate me?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Lol never mind

I'lldo this later when I have more time.

-->
@swetepete540

What would be your position in this debate?

I need to know so that I understand what I am supposed to do.

-->
@Speedrace

What do you mean?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

...

You deserve better

-->
@swetepete540

Do you agree to a do over as in I ask Virtuoso to remove this debate fix the problem and we can start or you can agree with the fix I gave in the comments?

Your choice and if you don't want to comment here please do address what you chose in your Round so I know what I am supposed to do.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I can only delete debates if your opponent agrees as well.

-->
@swetepete540

Just to make sure:

The description should say It is Pro's burden to prove the existence of God.

Are you okay with that change?

-->
@David
@bsh1

Made a mistake can you remove the debate so that I can fix it?

You may want to delete this and remake it with the error corrected... Setting some extra parameters might also be good for a clean debate (God in what sense? What is considered evidence? etc.). Plus these religious debates get needlessly long, perhaps cut the character limit down to 5k-10k?

lol
