CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
That's probably why Mr Spiritualman isn't getting back with any of us... he's waiting for the ending of that video... I was ready to kill myself about 2 minutes in... then I realized it was on a loop! At first I thought I had rats crawling out of me hat.
I must confess that sometimes Satan takes over and interrupts my conversations with god. But god said that you can personally check with him to see which times I have represented his word truthfully and which times I have been deceived by the devil.
So, I guess what you're saying in essence is that the Devil is in the details of your conversations with God? I just hope I don't catch holy hell for my conversations with you on this subject! :)
Well we know one thing for sure... either Spiritualman is a slacker or God is... How long does it take to get a simple answer to a simple question? Good god! I've only been given so much time on this rock...
A: I am opposed to it. Today I command you, not only to marry outside your immediate family, but also you must make babies with someone of a different race if you wish to have my blessing.
C: There is no proof for or against God's existence. And like any atheist, I desire the correct answer.
R: Tomorrow morning I will give you the proof you request and you will be too concerned about what your peers will think of you to admit it publicly. I will go easy on you and not require that you confess to the world. It will be our little secret. You will seek trust and not find it until you have lost most of your teeth.
R: I will interrupt your ordinary thoughts. What would normally seem like ordinary day to day events, I will narrate for you in a language that you have grown accustomed to ignoring but understand better than English. I know that you are overly concerned with not appearing like an idiot so you will not verbally acknowledge everything I prove to you. You will find that the English language is far from suitable to share with others what I show you. You will eventually start ignoring me.... again ....and I will respond in kind. Later, after much suffering I will attend to the longing of your heart.
C: I want actual documented proof that God exists. The 'proof' MUST be actual scientific proof for God's existence.
God is said to be omnipotent, so he should be able to do this with ease.
R: Instead I will choose how to prove to you what I want to prove to you and when. You have a very disrespectful way of asking for help. You won't wonder why I leave you to your own devices for long.
Sorry, but they're starting to piss me off. A few fundamentalist Christians were messing with a friend of mine just because she was female (because the Bible says females are inferior to men in a couple verses).
Q: How do we know what your saying is true or false and its not some sort of act of trolling?
A: Verily I say unto you, that no man is completely truthful about me. You shall know that I am close by your side, because I will show you the error in what those you highly respect have to say about me, and I will make even great lies as a source of truth to you.
Actually I would know if I possessed a demon inside of me because then I would have a tight feeling around my throat like someones choking me and also I would lose consciousness and then the demon would take over and I have not had those things happen to me.
C:I would know if I possessed a demon inside of me because then I would have a tight feeling around my throat like someones choking me and also I would lose consciousness and then the demon would take over and I have not had those things happen to me.
R: Satan and his minions are more subtle and crafty than you imagine
Someone could easily say I have a demon inside without any proof.
Which is exactly the same as telling there is a God without any proof.
What if spiritualman is right? What if God really is talking through him? How can you know for certain? Are you really willing to risk going to hell by denying God who is supposedly talking through him? You could already have eternal barbecue ahead of you and you are the meat. So you better begin apologizing and doing good, or face uncertain damnation. Those are the rules, supported by no evidence at all, you follow.
Isn't religion itself a big fortune telling? It doesn't really tell, it strictly dictates by threatening with hell. Sounds like fortune telling ain't that bad after all, eh?
Makes no difference whether someone is trolling about it or someone speaks the real nonsense, it's all crap anyway.
You seem to be very good at not using your brain. I'd envy you but that's not exactly a good skill to possess.
Saying "That would be rather pointless, as you're doing it very well on your own." should be quite obvious. If I think it would be pointless, that you're doing it very well on your own, then why would I create an alternate account and basically contradict what I said? Or is the issue that you want me to make an alternate account? It could be fun... But I'd rather not spend too much time here, as I've got other things to do.
Which is exactly the same as telling there is a God without any proof.
I actually did gave you evidence but you rejected it as every atheist does on this site and I gave you proof but you claim that isn't proof or evidence at all. You want physical proof that God exists but I can't give you that because He already was here 2,000 years ago when He died on the cross for our sins. You will see Him when He comes back and then you will be convinced that a God does exist.

I have to test Him if what He says is true. God said you must test the person to see if God is actually talking through him. Most of what He is saying is not something God would say at all.
How do I know? Well in the Bible have you ever heard of the story the rich ruler and the poor man? The rich man went to hell and the poor man went to heaven and the rich man asked God if He could go back to the real world and tell his relatives to avoid hell and God said that there is evidence if they really wanted to avoid hell.
If I can't use the Bible then you can't use science or evolution.
Science is the knowledge of existence, as much as we know. Evolution is supported by science. Science comes from observation, from that which actually exists and works. What science claims is supported by that which is and which comes from the outside. Religion, the bible, is supported by that which comes from the bible, not by that which comes from the outside. What science claims is supported by the exterior. What religion claims is supported by the interior. Get it?
Since science already does this, so should you, if you want to prove something. To prove it all (what religion claims) real you may not use anything that originates from the bible.
I think I will use that in God debates as well.
That would be very stupid and, as such, nothing new from you.

Some of the stuff from the Bible was supported by science.

Did you know that in the Bible it says that the world was round before any scientists or someone discovered that?
Many scientists tested the hygienic laws from the Bible and it was proven to be accurate. You see when the Black Plague struck Europe and when leprosy spread, the Jews in many instances were blamed because theses plagues weren't running rampant in the Jewish ghettos. Why? Because they didn't have sewage running in their streets as was the case in many other cities, like Paris for example. There sewage was running into the Seine River and people were not only bathing in their own filth bu today in countries like India and Egypt which are not Christian nations and therefore do not follow the principles of the Bible.By following the hygienic laws of the Bible, the Jews throughout the ages have managed to avoid many of the plagues and diseases that have stricken other cultures.
That would be very stupid and, as such, nothing new from you.
You said the exact same thing to me when you said that from now on your going to use this:
To prove it all (what religion claims) real you may not use anything that originates from the bible.
I think I will use this one quite often in religion and God debates, from now on.
Those were your words.
Right here in this video evolution is refuted so it isn't accurate.
I actually did gave you evidence but you rejected it as every atheist does on this site and I gave you proof but you claim that isn't proof or evidence at all.
That's because what you have given me and others has not been proof in the slightest.
First learn what evidence means and then think whether what you intend to present as such is actually proof or not.
You want physical proof that God exists but I can't give you that because He already was here 2,000 years ago when He died on the cross for our sins.
So you got no evidence. Neither have you any proof for the dying on the cross thing. Simply because a book that has no evidence for its illogical stories which say something happened or is and was real, does not mean it was real, quite the opposite as there is no evidence at all.
By the way, that was supposed to be jesass not God... Or are you saying God can die? Isn't that supposed to be impossible?
You will see Him when He comes back and then you will be convinced that a God does exist.
When God gets back? You wait till the Great and Magnificent Unicorn gets back... You should be afraid of the wonders she'll do to you. By the way, it's a he not a she, and also an it. Yup, all of them and none of them.
I have to test Him if what He says is true. God said you must test the person to see if God is actually talking through him.
And how are you going to test him? Talk with an imaginary friend no one else can see? That's called being crazy...
Where did God say that? You took it from the book? And here it goes again... Prove what the book says is true, prove that those are God's words. You do not prove something like that using the same book, you need something from outside the book to prove it true. That means not using anything that book says or claims, including not using what you already know about the book, not using anything that originates from that book. To prove it all real you may not use anything that originates from that book. Can you do that, can you prove it true that way?
Most of what He is saying is not something God would say at all.
You know God? You know everything about God? You've met the supposed dude? You know what the supposed guy looks like? If you don't and haven't any of it then how can you claim what God would say or would not say. You are not God, thus you cannot know what he would say.
Find a solution so that both X and Y are integers.
A: The concept of mathematical equality is an illusion you have made quite a show of, but take it from me, imagining that you have identical units is a trap.
A: I give the answers you need, not necessarily the one's you desire. When you have better desires I will pour my blessings out on you in an immeasurable manner .
Does that mean that saying absolutely nothing (something that is no use to anyone) is a good thing and serves as a good thing to others even though it is no use to anyone?
Q: Does that mean that saying absolutely nothing (something that is no use to anyone) is a good thing and serves as a good thing to others even though it is no use to anyone?
A: I am in charge of meaning. I just transformed someones life for the better by saying to them "Kill yourself".
