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.

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.
You need to stop blaming other people for your ignorance of pretty much everything in the known universe.
“If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.” (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
There are many places in the bible that state homosexuality is wrong. Though God did not write the bible, it's clear he tolerated it enough for it to be in his holy book. ( For example: You're going to write a book but you need some opinions that are alike yours to prove a point. You don't get an opinion that is against yours, do you? ) I am only a religious anthropologist and I do not know all about Christianity. If you have a different point of view, please do share. I don't want to lie to people.
Perverts choose to be perverts. God hates sin, perverts love sin, so they are deprived of God's love and can only know the hatred He has for their sin.
Did God create you to say stupid things and give you no choice in being stupid, or do you say stupid things because you enjoy talking stupid?
Sex outside of marriage (which is the joining of one man and one woman to be one flesh) is wrong. Anybody who claims to be loving when they are engaging in perversion is lying. Two sodomites may lie to each other and say they are loving each other, and they may actually feel and believe that their lie is true. They are abusing their bodies with each other, they are degrading themselves, it's evil and it is not love no matter what they feel, do, or say that might make them feel their perversion is loving and it might make confused people believe they are loving each other. If they get AIDS (which was called GRID; Gay Related Immune Deficiency when it was first recognized as an epidemic), they deserve it and they deserve all of the other std's which are spread by fornication. If they have children, they deserve to see their children suffer the same diseases. They have upheld perversion which spreads disease as a good thing, they deserve to see their children suffer the same consequences of sin as they will suffer themselves.
Perverts add as much confusion as possible in vain efforts to hide their evil.
Maybe the thing you call god is what inspired sodomites to be perverts, but it is not God. Why do fools have so much trouble understanding that things called gods are not God the Creator of all things? This is why I believe atheists are retarded, willfully ignorant to the point that they are learning disabled.
Sodomites and homosexual is not exact the same thing. Sometimes they go together sometimes not. Again you seem to be confusing sexual orientation with a specific sex act.
The truth is always simple. It is you who is adding confusion because you are trying to hide sin.
The correct term for same-sex perverts is sodomites. "Sexual orientation" is a euphemism for personal preferences of perversion. All sex outside of marriage (which is the merging of one man and one woman to become one flesh) is wrong. If you have a problem with that, your problem is with God and your battle is lost.
Very simple. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Try to use common sense.

You accuse him of hiding sin but did your own mythical bearded wizard not say: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"? Even Jesus would mock your credibility for being such a wanton hypocrite.

Homosexuality is a biological trait, not a "perversion". Just what the fuck do they teach you idiots at Sunday School? You think homosexuality is the same thing as a foot fetish?
All sex outside of marriage (which is the merging of one man and one woman to become one flesh) is wrong.
Not just wrong. According to your own Bible it is punishable by death.
If you have a problem with that, your problem is with God and your battle is lost.
Your problem is with mental illness and your battle never even began.
Very simple. God made Adam and Eve
An evolution denier too? LOL. This is getting bizarre. I had no idea you guys even existed any more. I thought you'd gone extinct by the end of the 19th century. Just wow.
not Adam and Steve. Try to use common sense.
"Common sense" is denying evolution and quoting platitudes from guests on the Jerry Springer show is it? Jolly good. Lol.
You are in your sins, dying, condemned and you need to be saved and only the One who you insult is able and willing to save you. You choose to go your own way against your Creator so He will be your Judge and not your Savior, and you will be cast away from His goodness forever and left in the fire of Hell to fry like an eternal sausage if you will not repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yes sin is punishable by death. All sinners are dying, are they not? You could have figured this out without referring to the Bible, but it's good that you are referring to the Bible.
You know scientists have actually observed evolution happening, right? Was the peppered moth of Manchester a Satanic conspiracy, was it? Lol. Did Satan plant dinosaur bones all over the Earth as a cunning trick?
Ahahahahahaha. You are too much for any sane man to deal with. I bet you live in an abandoned monastery and whip yourself every time you get an erection.
That's what evil often does........tries to nitpick on the flaws of others to justify it's own evil. I do the same thing sometimes but my intent is to try to draw you into reasoning with God for your own benefit and His own glory. Most people here, I have given up on as forever unreasonable and I hope I'm wrong about that but I know that there is nothing more I can do for them so they are left behind as far as I am concerned. You will probably be totally in that crowd soon, you have only gotten worse since you first came here whining about being told you are on your way to Hell.
The empirical evidence for the objective existence of evil is nil, and the empirical evidence for the objective existence of God is also nil. You are assuming reality works contrary to what your own senses tell you because you read it in a fictional book which has been disproved more times than geocentrism. The only explanation for that is mental illness.
Everything is empirical evidence for the objective existence of God. The fact that you do not want God to rule over you is not empirical evidence of your ability to live exempt from His rule.
You believe you do not deserve to die and you believe you have the right to exist outside of Hell. You are in denial of reality. It's not mental illness you suffer from, it's evil which is taking you to Hell. You need to know God's mercy and be saved from Hell. What do you think you are gaining by trying to prove God wrong?
The peppered moth "experiments" were completely fraudulent and this is well known. In spite of the hoax, it is still used in current college biology classes as a "proof" of evolution. Moths adapting to varying colors in their environment is not evolution. The peppered moths are still peppered moths, they did not evolve into pterodactyls.
I'm guessing that you are less than twenty years old. You need a good whooping, and I expect my saying so will trigger you to talk and act increasingly dirty so I'll leave you in the heap with the many here who are incapable of civil discourse.

You are quite seriously mentally ill.
The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
If any evolution happened, it is the same old aristotle's sane theory of evolution stolen from the school of mystics of Ancient Egypt which strongly oppose the darwinian greek myth which for the past 4000years has never been witnessed or recorded anywhere in history.
Is there any dinasour bone discovered by any paleontologist that has the feature of a bird in half transition mode into a dinasour? or fish into a crocodile? Show me.
Darwinians don't know jack about bones or paleontology. They use the work findings of others who disagree with their pseudo-theory , ignore the discoverers opinions , use it to back darwinism with another pseudo conclusion ofcourse.
If you want to really know the answers behind discoveries of any animal species, read George Cuvier's(father of paleontology) findings and conclusions.
But if you want to be a good politician read more of darwinism.

It is impossible to argue with you because you are so utterly and emphatically wrong. You are the type of wrong that keeps scholars awake at night. If you refuse to accept proven reality then there is absolutely nothing anybody can do to save your mind from its prison of error.
The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring.
Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.
God supposedly created everyone and everything, right? So he couldn't be against a homosexual any more than he could be against albinos or women or dung beetles.
The Bible was written by people. People are influenced by the cultures they live in. When the Bible demonstrates sexism or racism or homophobia it's a reflection of the world that author was living in at the time, not an omnipotent being booming his condemnation of something he directly created.
God isn't against homosexuals, neither is he really for them. They are an aspect of his creation. Some homosexuals behave badly, others behave well. The bible was not written by God it was written by man. It contains teachings that are not appropriate to our times. Many Christians today acknowledge this.
God did not create homosexuals any more than He created thieves, child molesters, murderers, and any other kind of pervert. All people have behaved badly and deserve to burn in Hell. God is against sin, God is against homosexuality, and those who will not repent of their sin will not have God's mercy and they will fry like eternal sausages in the fire of Hell.
Many who claim to be Christians today are just like you....pretending to be good while they are on their way to Hell.
Firstly, not all thieves are sinners. A person in poverty who steals a loaf of bread to give to a starving child is not a sinner.
Secondly, homosexual is not something you do it is something you are. Being what you are is not a sin.
And finally with regard to hell, it is not just someone you go after you die. Hell is what we create here on earth when we hate, misunderstand and mistreat each other. If you act in hateful ways towards people you could be contributing to this.
Stealing is sin, even if it is stealing bread to feed a starving child. Generally, nobody will hold it against the thief who steals in an effort to stop starvation, but it is still stealing and it is still wrong. Of course, if I am starving and you try to steal my bread to give it to another starving person, it is likely that I would kill you and maybe eat your corpse.

Killing you would be justified when I am starving and you try to steal my bread to give it to a starving person who you feel is more important than me.
But if there's a really fat greedy guy who is hoarding a load of food and refusing to share any and then there is a staving child, is it still wrong for me to steal some of the food to give to the child?
Stealing is wrong. Wrong is wrong, it's always wrong, even when nobody will blame you for doing it. Nobody is going to blame you for stealing food to give to a starving child (except maybe the person you stole it from). That does not make it right. It's still stealing and stealing is always wrong. That's the truth. The truth is always simple. If you try to justify stealing for any reason, you are trying to obscure the truth. Why do you want to obscure the truth?
But why is it wrong? I would have saved the child's life. Surely the fat greedy guy is the one who is wrong. Why does he have the right to hoard all the food and not share any?
The fat greedy guy owns his possessions. It is wrong to steal from him. Just because you are jealous, it is not an excuse for you to steal. You do not have the right to take my things just because I have more than you.
It was a hypothetical situation for the purpose of the debate. I asked you to imagine a person who was not jealous but saving someone's life. Can you not answer?
Stealing is stealing. It is wrong. If you are stealing food because you are starving, or you are stealing medicine needed to save the life of a dying child, everybody understands why you are doing it and they may look the other way and not punish you for your crime...but it's still a crime for you to steal. Stealing is always wrong.
Why is this hard for you to understand? It's simple. Wrong is wrong. Stealing is wrong. You stole things, didn't you?
So in the case of the person who stole medicine from the selfish hoarder to save the child's life, you believe that they have committed a crime in the eyes of God? Do you believe that it would have been better for them to do nothing and let the child die?

Missing the point there as I was arguing to save the child. Our friend here was saying its better to let the child die. Although well done for using a real news site this time.
I am not missing the point but you are arguing about saving children and in the UK a court decides the life of a child ? So what point is it you are trying to make ?
If you read above you will see that I was arguing that if you had to steal something to save a child's life then it would not be morally wrong. But our friend here thinks it is always wrong and its better to let the child die.
I gave you the links to the case but what is disturbing is to see people like you trying to defend children when a Socialized Medical Industry in the land you make claim to let a child die and a court decides that. That is nothing more than true hypocrisy !
Man on internet asks other man on internet why he's on internet. Are you sure you're familiar with the facts of the case? What did my country do exactly? Should I quickly turn the computer off and run to night school to get a law degree?
All sin is punishable by death. If you steal to feed a dying baby, you have to answer to God for your sin. If you want to be a thief and go face God and see if He accepts your excuses, go ahead....but if you try to steal from me, you will probably end up in the hospital or dead.
I answered many times, I gave you the same answer every time. If you steal, you deserve to be punished for it no matter how noble you claim your cause to be.
Nobody will blame a thief who steals fearing starvation. That does not make stealing right, stealing is still wrong and if you get shot between the eyes for doing it, you get what you deserve.
You say that the person was fearing starvation but I say that the act was not done out of fear but out of a wish to save the child from suffering and to save its life. Do You say that you think the person deserves to die for this?
Wrong is wrong. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Why do you want to justify stealing? Why do you think people who have more than you should be forced to give you what is theirs? Don't tell me you are not jealous of wealthy people, you reek of envy.
Stealing is wrong. There are millions starving in the world, if you think it's okay to steal you better take a huge army and steal from all the rich people and feed the starving children.
How old are you? Is this the garbage they indoctrinated you with in public school while claiming to have educated you?
I was just talking about a case of one individual, not doing it for everyone in the world. But since you ask, do you think those rich people have a duty to help those starving children?
Stealing is always wrong. If you have a starving baby in your hands, and you want to do wrong in order to feed it, then who is going to blame you? You can't expect that nobody will shoot you between the eyes if they catch you stealing, and you can't blame them if they do. The best way to deal with a thief is to shoot him between the eyes.
