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.
"Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm."
"If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."
"Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil."
"Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."
"In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another."
Then Jesus went into the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. 13And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”…
Gee, I guess Jesus was not just about being nice to everyone.
If Jesus is ok with getting angry at money changers, I wonder what he would say to those supporting No Restriction abortions?
It takes honesty, integrity, and some semblance of intelligence to understand God's word and discern it's meaning. The Left loves to take things out of context when it fits their narrative.
Yes Christians are suppose to love everyone, but this does not mean we stay quiet when barbaric selfish people support inhuman things.
Yet even if you know everything, have perfect knowledge, can speak every type of language, and can move mountains with your faith... without charity, it profits nothing.
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
John 13:34-35
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
I don't know if they are fake, so much as misguided. Perhaps there are some who want to use Christianity as a status, I'm not sure why though. More, I think they believe they are Christians who are one some form of crusade as a feeling of self-importance, and in doing this they cherry-pick what they want and go down a path they aren't meant to.
Those people in particular, once made aware of the truth of the matter will turn away from their wickedness and embrace righteousness.
Lest on the last day they say, "Lord, Lord, did I not crusade against the unbelievers, mocking them and pointing out the error of their ways in your name?"
And The Lord responds, "Depart from me, I never knew you oh worker of iniquity!"
I can see your reasoning. I would argue however that those who don't identify as Christian yet still follow His command and are good people, are exhibiting Christ like behavior, even if they don't believe in a God in particular. I would be curious as to your thoughts on that?
LOL, stubborn? Do you mean the stubbornness of people who vote for the Democrat Party no matter that they support No Restriction abortions?
You are so stubborn, you would vote for these corrupt extremists no matter what they support.
Try caring for those being killed more so than some social program making life easier for you our your family. Stop being so stubborn with your selfish priorities.
You're supporting a President whose actions (and in some cases inaction) have shown time and time again that he, if not supports then clearly doesn't condemn, misogyny and racism.
You're also the fella that flat out told me that children can't have a chance at having a loving home if a gay couple wants to adopt them, so let's stop pretending that you are trying to help children.
So again, your method of accusations brings a few flaws of your own to light.
Or are you going to ignore that and spout the same false arguments again.
TRUMP DOES NOT SUPPORT LAWS THAT WOULD MAKE IT OK TO MOLEST WOMEN.
TRUMP DOES NOT SUPPORT LAWS THAT WOULD SUPPORT RACISM. HE ACTUALLY IS MAKING LAWS THAT HAVE BEEN HELPING BLACK PEOPLE FIND JOBS! RECORD LOW UNEMPLOYMENT FOR BLACK PEOPLE AFTER TRUMP WAS ELECTED!
I care for our children and is why I would have them being raised in a normal natural environment whereby the child learns the natural normal roles of men and women.
You are so brainwashed into this political correct lunacy, you would have our children taught that unnatural sex is ok and that anything goes when it comes to sex.
Get some semblance of wisdom and stop letting activist groups condition your mind.
You clearly didn't read what I wrote and just retyped what you said like that makes a difference.
If you cared for children you wouldn't have an issue with them being in a loving home, regardless of whether or not you agree with that lifestyle. A homosexual couple is just as capable of loving and caring for a child as a heterosexual is.
They are children for godsakes, in a crucial time in their life they need a loving and stable family more than they need to learn about sex. Once it gets to that point a loving couple will be able to meet the challenges of explaining the concerns and reasons for sex. Get some semblance of wisdom and stop bleating about how you care about kids but only if you can control who can love them.
In a crucial times of their lives, ALL children need to be taught the natural order to life, how we are designed, how our biology works and is meant to work.
Yes, of course our children need to have a stable loving family, but that does not mean you allow couples who will distort the natural roles of women and men, to condition our children.
Would you allow loving couples who are into bestiality raise foster kids? Why not? In your PC world, we must allow any alphabet LGBTQRSUVWXYZ group to adopt our children.
Where do you draw the line? You have been brainwashed by these activist groups and have lost discernment and common sense.
You are the result of the slippery slope of political correctness.
A gay couple is perfectly capable of explaining the natural process of sex and what can happen afterwards. It's amazing you think they can't.
When you compare homosexuality to bestiality then I know your stance is weak as we are obviously talking about the love between two consenting human adults.
In my world a couple that loves each other and wants to adopt a child who needs and wants a family should have the ability to. Regardless of their sexual preference.
In your world you want choices taken away from women and children to remain in a foster home until your version of a perfect couple comes along, if ever. So where do you draw the line? If I'm the slippery slope of political correctness than you are the slippery slope of militant Christian extremism. To be clear, I don't believe either of us are, but you comparisons continue to lack truth.
In your world, we are witnessing the destruction of our family unit. People like you will never admit it. You simply ignore the record numbers of broken homes, fatherless children, etc. etc.
You have no clue how to stop this slippery slope of broken homes because the answer requires acknowledgment of moral values. The word morals is a dirty word to the Left.
You sit there pretending to care about foster children while ignoring this Political correct no fault amoral culture that creates millions more of them.
You have no desire to address the core reasons for millions of foster kids because that would bring the conversation back to moral values, something the Left refuses to ever mention.
Your answer? Ignore lifestyles that create so many Foster kids, and create never ending social programs to put band aids on the problem. Our children deserve a mother and father, not two men who refuse to marry and have their own children.
Psychologists agree that a mother and father are best for well adjusted children.
I always repeat the Peace Core commercial where it says, is it better to keep giving never ending bushels of corn to poor people in third world nations, or is it better to teach them how to grow their own corn.
How about addressing the true cause of our broken families, if you care. How about teaching people the moral values that would prevent more children in broken homes.
Nah, the Left refuses to speak to accountability for one's choices in life.
Charity believes all things, which means when you are showing charity you have to operate as if the other person is being sincere about what they profess.
Even if someone is wrong, that doesn't mean they can't believe these wrong things sincerely. You will never convince such a person by talking at them.
Your zealotry will get in the way of practicing charity effectively. Do you really care about a person enough to pull them from the fire? Then practice charity. It is the commandment of Jesus.
So tell me, should people have talked nicely to Hitler when he sincerely believed Jews were beneath Germans and deserved to be killed? SHOULD WE HAVE WAITED TILL HE HAD AN EPIPHANY?
He would have loved people like you.
Should we have talked nicely about those supporting slavery or should we have stopped the brutality?
You live in some kind of lala land whereby being nice to evil will change their spots. The Democrat Party loves voters who look the other way when pulling that lever for those who support the inhumanity of No Restriction abortions.
So tell me, should people have talked nicely to Hitler when he sincerely believed Jews were beneath Germans
There you go again, SELECTIVELY picking and choosing the pieces of information which don't discredit you as insane, while you IGNORE everything which does. Hitler didn't just pick on Jews. He picked on Communists, homosexuals, blacks and the disabled: ALL THE SAME GROUPS YOU PICK ON!!
Jesus was a Jewish preacher and, biblically, he son of God. Christians are people who follow what Jesus taught, namely compassion, repentance, baptism, and family among other things.
Now, you're probably going to show me examples of self-proclaimed Christians who don't seem to follow His teachings.
In fairness, anonymity brings out the worst in everyone, not just those professing to be Christian, there have been some atheists on here who mock and condemn just as well as the purported Christians.
Now, you're probably going to show me examples of self-proclaimed Christians who don't seem to follow His teachings.
Which would be every so called Christian on this site except ( Mint tea ) the rest are just the typical rabid believer America seems to excell at producing
I disagree. I know personally some Christians on this website who are very Christlike in person, but they get heated in debates. There are also plenty of Christians who align very closely to your own beliefs concerning most topics.
As you’re entitled to do so . Yes I agree with some Christians on some topics but that has not stopped the majority unfortunately ( American ) Christians from rabidly attacking either .
As I said Mint Tea is the only one I’ve never had a bad word with yet we disagree on a load of things but the conversation is always polite and enjoyable, maybe I left out one or two more but I’m genuinely trying to think who
Lol. The entirety of your posting history consists of rabid attacks, you mentally retarded hypocrite.
Says the guy with 49 alt accounts who’s never once attempted to debate on C D , can you actually name one person you have not rabidly attacked ....... apart from your alt accounts that is , bet you cannot 👋👋🙀
Thank you for proving the point. All of your posts are childish, mentally retarded lies, and you are TOO STUPID to understand the problem with being so specific when you make up BS about other people (besides yourself) using alt accounts.
Your BS isn't even worth replying to. You're just a freaking retard who thinks debate is about making up as much BS about the person you are talking to as you possibly can.
Says the guy with 49 alt accounts who’s never once attempted to debate on C D , can you actually name one person you have not rabidly attacked ....... apart from your alt accounts that is , bet you cannot 👋👋🙀
So you cannot name even one person you have not attacked?
So you’re denying what the dogs on the street know about you and you alt accounts , proving you’re a notorious liar as well as a coward .
You always disappoint with your childish insults as in the same tired lame “ Buh , Buh you’re a reeeetard , haw , haw , haw like the big plodding Donkey you are
Shut up Dermot. Everybody on this site knows that you're a paedophile. You're the absolute scum of the the Earth. There's a queue to beat the shit out of your retarded, child-abusing mouth, and it extends from Dallas to Detroit.
I need to shut up Dermot. Everybody on this site knows that I’m a paedophile. I’m the absolute scum of the the Earth. There's a queue to beat the shit out of my retarded, child-abusing mouth, and it extends from Dallas to Detroit.
I’ve done major time for abusing my own kids , the FBI have a file as thick as my obese burger bulging belly on my “antics “
I dunno. In real life, I get into heated debates and say the wrong shit.. But, the COOL thing about writing my debates, is that I have TIME to consider the shit I'm gonna say. And, if I say shit, after I've had time to consider saying it, I MEAN it.
Go out among the streets of any major city in the US. Who are the ones that go out of their way to feed the homeless and do good to those who are afflicted?
People who work in the name of Christ.
Maybe you don't really know any Christians.
But even then, you can always find fault in man. What fault is there in The Truth? If you find fault with The Truth, the fault is all your own.
Whether or not Christianity is true or false, some Christians will be "better" than others. But from what I know the only requirement to being a christian is simply believing Jesus died for your sins.
