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.
Right wingers give to charity because it's tax deductible and it LOOKS to customers (and potential customers), that they are willing to "share their wealth". That they get it back on the other end rarely registers with the "customers".
I'm not saying there aren't SOME capitalists who have a not-too-greedy-heart, but, where would the country be without "minorities"?? ;-)
Would a socialist God say "You shall not steal", and "You shall not covet"? How about the fact that socialism and religious liberty cannot coexist. Hard working people have the right to their own walletts. I have no problem with charity for people that CAN'T work full time, but those who CAN DON'T have the right to worker's walletts! We are Taxed Enough Already, and need far less government. Keep your laws off of people's wallets, you theif.
The entire basis of capitalism is theft you ignorant child. You pay for goods and then sell them to me for more than you bought them for, hence stealing from me.
Banned for trolling. That is a liberal lie.......................................................................................................................................
What would you know, you're not a Christian............................................................................................................
I know that, once upon a time, people thought the Roman Catholic Church was a charity. Until it became the most powerful institution on Earth, began ruling Europe, torturing scientists and chasing young women through woods who would later be burned at the stake.

It would be hard to argue that he wasn't a left wing liberal … wouldn't it?? Care for the ill, help and feed the poor, make it hard for a rich man to get to heaven, etc.. I love what Jesus was alleged to be. We need more like him, rather than rich men who use women and pay them to shut up, think shooting women and children in the legs, who are running to SAVE those children (and themselves), from gangs. But that's just me and Jesus, and people LIKE us, who care for humanity whether they have some money or not.
I've always felt kind of sorry for you, it seems you've been through a lot, but, lately you've been pretty vicious and derogatory to even the Christians on the left. You seem to think the only "Christians" are the radical evangelicals on the right who DON'T like helping people … like Jesus, allegedly, wanted. Are you SURE you want THAT kind of "Christianity"? I MUCH PREFER HIS socio-liberal Christianity to the greedy, un-caring, authoritarian type of right wing, non-Jesus-like-religion THEY (and you), think of as "Christian". You are a sad case. :-(
Yes we need more like Jesus who would be screaming at these Pro abortion Democrats keeping it legal to kill babies God knows in the womb.
Jesus could have been aborted under Liberal Democrat values.
Go spew your helping the poor garbage to someone who does not know what you truly stand for.
Yeh, you support taking money from others to help the poor, while never donating your own money to help the poor. It's always someone else who should pay. THAT'S NOT CHARITY!
God said we should voluntarily donate our money to help the poor. Nothing to do with Government.
It's pretty rich listening to hypocrite non Christians like telling Christians the correct way to be a Christian.
Newsflash... YOU DO NOT KNOW GOD and you are going to sit there preaching to Christians on how they should be?
That socio-liberal so called Christianity you speak of totally ignores most of what the Bible talks about. They have created their own Progressive cult. Sure you would like those people better because they do not speak out against people like you supporting the killing of even viable unborn babies when voting for Democrats.
God tells people to help the poor, not government!
I happen to think it's "pretty rich" listening to someone who "knows god" …. from the books s/he's read and from the brainwashing s/he's been indoctrinated by. You, or nobody else, has "met God, or Jesus for that matter, except in their own mind. Even YOU have to admit THAT … or lie. Religion is a course you take where you flunk out if you get the answers RIGHT! It's an invisible product sold by salesmen that are either unscrupulous or have swallowed that "invisible product" themselves …. like a drug! I would remind you AGAIN that there are just as many, IF NOT MORE, "Christians on the "progressive side", and the black and Hispanic ones are usually FAR MORE DEVOUT than you whitey righties! (And FAR more Jesus-like :-)!
I may not be a believer, that doesn't mean I haven't "studied the product"! YOU act like NOTHING I remember reading about Jesus … NOTHING! Don't worry, there is NOTHING in this "Righteous" government that the Jesus I read about would help …. the Righteous government that doesn't give a rats ass about the poor, the ill or those driven from their homeland HOPING that the U.S. would save them from rape, robbery, indoctrination and death …. like the Jesus I read about would! (Ignore THAT :-)!
You are the world. You speak as every other non Christian speaks. You judge any person of faith who makes you feel guilty about your irresponsible lifestyles.
You have no problem with those false pro abortion Christians who never say a thing about immoral lifestyles. They are no different from you. They preach the lie that we are basically all good people, and all deserving of Heaven. COMPLETE LIE!
You know in your heart that having sex with 60 different women is very irresponsible, taking chances of spreading venereal disease's, getting a woman pregnant, creating fatherless children, etc. etc.
You know it in your heart but lacked the moral character to live responsibly. You lived by your libido and to Hell with the consequences.
This is why you hate true Bible believing Christians who speak to these issues of morality. You want no part of your conscience being bothered by those who quote what the Bible says about these self consumed lifestyles.
I do not judge people like you, or anyone else for how they live their lives. I speak out to hypocrites like you who judge Christians for their beliefs.
No Christian ever tries to claim they have met God and know all things. What we do know is what the Bible says on many of the issues facing us today. We have every right to protect our children from a Godless culture trying to brainwash them into political correctness and LGBT hysteria.
You judge us for trying to protect our children from your self love supposed political correct Christian cult.
"You judge any person of faith who makes you feel guilty about your irresponsible lifestyles".
First, I don't "judge" just any person of faith. I only judge radicals of ANY faith. Good Christians are good people and people of any other religion are completely acceptable to me … no judgement.
Secondly, anyone who knows me knows I am NOT irresponsible. That I have different opinions than you does not make me any more irresponsible than you. You talk about "lies" with me, then you back the biggest liar to ever occupy the White House … and one who's "lifestyle" is certainly less palatable than mine … which makes YOU the hypocrite.
I agree with the opinion of the SCOTUS on Roe v. Wade. I agree with the 80% of America on that subject, making YOU the questionable opinion.
You (above) made a LOT of remarks of ME being "judgmental" while your entire ramble was judgmental of ME. Again, hypocrisy.
Scientists are NOT known for their "political correctness", they rely on evidence, and NOT the "evidence" written in ancient scriptures written BEFORE we had the "evidence" we have today. Just because the evidence disagrees with YOUR ancient scriptures it does NOT make them "godless" … or complete liars. I want MY children protected from YOUR kind of "Christian". The kind that wont even listen to science OR the majority, just their own closed mind. You have a good day with your cult … it's Sunday. ;-)
Yeh, you have a problem with Bible believing Christians, when you just said other religions are acceptable to you. So when Islam support killing daughter's and wives and Gay people, that is acceptable to you? Fits right into your abortion support.
You are ok with false Christians who deny what the Bible says. You are a judgmental hypocrite of Christianity... AS WRITTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are ok with Roe V Wade. Yes you are ok with the selfish inhumanity of the world.
God said that Christians would be the minority, and you support the 80% majority of the world's selfish inhumanity. That's your excuse for being a supporter of killing innocent viable lives? Because they are the majority?
You are so lost and totaly blind to it. You are exactly like the non believer God speaks to in the Bible.
Leftists love to lie..........................................................................................................................................
