"I do believe that homosexuality is wrong and it is written in the table of our hearts. Why? Because people who commit homosexual acts have to make excuses to defend what they do. While no one has to make an excuse when they help grandma across the street."
Do you really think that homosexuals have to make excuses to defend what they do? I've never heard a single one try to justify their "homosexual acts". And using your logic, I could say religion is wrong since you are trying to justify your beliefs in this debate.
Ever heard of Brahma, Shiva, Vishna, Ganesha? Ever heard of Yu-Huang, San-Yuan, or Yuan-shih T'ien-tsun? What about Yama, Mahakala, or Yamanthaka? Those gods all come from Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism. For a theist, your ignorance about religion is astounding.
"Since theism is the truth, Then, That leaves with only three religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam."
Have you never heard of any other religions? Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism? These are all theisms too, you know.
I didn't dissapear anywhere, I have other stuff to do than debate on this website. One day is not enough time for an argument. Make a new debate with more time.
I'm really sorry, I was busy and I missed my argument. Perhaps you could extend your argument to round 3? And maybe next time, have more than two days for each argument. Again, I'm very sorry!
Huh? This debate is talking about geopolitical power, not healthcare or education. I never said that I only care about a country's power, no need to make stuff up.
It doesn't mean that people wouldn't have to work. Take Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend, for example. It only pays each citizen $1,000 a month. Would $12,000 a year be enough for you not to work for the rest of your life? Obviously not. So the Freedom Dividend ensures that people do not die of homelessness and starvation, but it is still very small and covers only the most basic and vital human requirements.
I find it bizzare that when a forfeited debate finishes, half of DebateArt rushes to vote, but when an actual productive debate finishes, people rarely vote on who won.
Why are you acting like you destroyed Death when you're the one who will lose this debate? Literally everyone in the comment sectin thinks that you're either an idiot or a troll. Stop acting like you've just roasted everyone, because you can't roast.
Come on, enough is enough. We know you are a troll. It's not possible for a human being to be that stupid. Just give up already and leave this website, you're becoming an embarassment.
I think you're mistaken. I'm the one who thinks the United States would NOT be better off without black people. I'm the one isn't racist. You're confusing me for my opponent, who is a racist.
Humans can get proteins from not only meat, but mushrooms, beans, some grains, etc. How can you prove that all humans being vegan would hurt the Earth? And also, this debate is not about whether vegans are unhealthy or hurt the earth. This is about if vegans should be banned, and your reasons are not enough for banning them. Smoking is unhealthy, should we ban smoking?
I already said, none of your statistics disprove the official government ones. You're saying "class dismissed", are you a teacher? If yes, I'm very concerned for the education of your students.
None of what you said disproves the OFFICIAL goverment statistic: 13% of the population commits 50% of the crimes. That is a FACT. And also, I thought you said you didn't trust statistics? Aren't statistics just numbers?
African Americans are responsible for 50% of crime in the US despite only being 13% of the population. That is a FACT. It is undisputable. I've explained why this happens, and my explanation is perfectly logical. You can't just pull random statistics out of your ass and claim that whites are at fault for everything. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. I have to write in caps because you are so painfully stupid.
You are saying that it's logical for whites to commit more crime, but illogical for blacks to commit more crime. You can have one or the other. Not both.
I'm saying that it's logical for both whites and blacks to commit more crime. However, blacks do and whites don't. It would be logical if whites commited more crime, but they don't judging from crime statistics.
I've already explained you why, but I will do it again.
The average African-American is poorer, less educated, and more likely to have a single mother. These factors all increase a person's chance to be a criminal. And that's why African-Americans commit more crime than white Americans.
Bloody hell. How thick are you? You think that it's illogical for blacks to commit 50% of the crime, but you think it's logical for white people to commit more crime on average? Are you even hearing yourself? You can't just deny statistics with "it's illogical". Please explain how the hell that statistic is illogical.
Wait, wait, wait. You say that government stats have no credibility. But then, you say that whites commit the most crime! Doesn't that statistic also have no credibility? And if it does, then why?
Okay, let's have this discussion. This is quite a new format, just a discussion instead of a debate. I don't really get your premise, but you can explain this in R1.
Oh my god. Please. Your formatting is the worst I've seen in my life. Capitalize your words. Don't have ten-line-long empty spaces between your paragraphs. Your arguments are very hard to read.
I think you mean monotheistic, not theistic. Religions that only worship one god are called monotheistic, not theistic.
Would you like to have a debate about the morality of homosexuality? You can argue that it is wrong, I will argue the opposite.

R'amen brother.
Maybe I'll do a debate with him in the future. He's spewing so much unproven crap, no wonder he lost all of his debates.
"Since theism is the truth, Then, That leaves with only three religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam."
Have you never heard of any other religions? Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism? These are all theisms too, you know.
My initial reaction to your argument is summarized perfectly by this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfykaWjd_0A&t=89s
Yeah, of course you can use it
Quite a lot of mass shooters wear glasses and have poor eyesight. Does that mean we should be wary of people that can't see well?
"Even a fish would stay out of trouble if he kept his mouth shut."
I think that quote applies to you more than it does to me.
Wow dude. You just obliterated mairj23 with that R2 argument. Great job!
"The title of this debate was quoted by actual politicians"
Who?
Isn't the working age for all countries already 14?
I didn't dissapear anywhere, I have other stuff to do than debate on this website. One day is not enough time for an argument. Make a new debate with more time.

Very interesting topic. I haven't really thought about this before. Right now I'm neutral on this, but let's see who is a better debater!
What are your definitions of capitalism and socialism?
Very true.
I find it bizzare that when a forfeited debate finishes, half of DebateArt rushes to vote, but when an actual productive debate finishes, people rarely vote on who won.
Why are you acting like you destroyed Death when you're the one who will lose this debate? Literally everyone in the comment sectin thinks that you're either an idiot or a troll. Stop acting like you've just roasted everyone, because you can't roast.
Lol how is that sinning?
What do you mean by an "alternate account"? An alternate account for DebateArt, or for another website?
Come on, enough is enough. We know you are a troll. It's not possible for a human being to be that stupid. Just give up already and leave this website, you're becoming an embarassment.
Uh-oh. Mairj23 is at it again. This can't be good...
You should at least check who is Pro and Con before accusing me of terrible things like that.
I think you're mistaken. I'm the one who thinks the United States would NOT be better off without black people. I'm the one isn't racist. You're confusing me for my opponent, who is a racist.

And also, this debate is not about whether vegans are unhealthy or hurt the earth. This is about if vegans should be banned, and your reasons are not enough for banning them. Smoking is unhealthy, should we ban smoking?
Just because I don't agree with Christians, doesn't mean I want to make Christianity a crime. Don't commit the strawman fallacy here.
Being vegan does harm? To who and how? Doesn't being vegan do less harm, since they don't kill animals?
You think the Earth is flat? I knew you weren't smart, but this...
Huh? Why should someone's personal choice that affects no one be a crime?
I am waiting. Post your argument.
Use your enemy's strength to your own advantage. If he's too stupid to be beaten with statistics, we can just roast him and call it a day.
I already said, none of your statistics disprove the official government ones. You're saying "class dismissed", are you a teacher? If yes, I'm very concerned for the education of your students.

Good point.
I don't think he is a troll. Even trolls aren't that stupid. This kind of stupidity cannot be faked, he is 100% sincere in what he says.
And I love how instead of countering my arguments, you call me stupid and attack my profile picture.
I don't even know what to say. You think that Ben Shapiro is not a Jew? I'm done.
STOP. DENYING. REALITY.

Yup. I was on vacation for a few weeks, but now I'm back to debating!
Hey, sorry I missed this debate. I was on holiday for three weeks.
Okay, let's have this discussion. This is quite a new format, just a discussion instead of a debate. I don't really get your premise, but you can explain this in R1.
