Why this debate site is better than the others
This site is better than the other debate websites because the creator of each debate/discussion is the moderator of that discussion. I suggested on other websites that the creator of the debate be allowed to moderate their own topic, I think they don't like the idea because they want to keep control over the speech by allowing only one or very few people on the site to ban anybody. This is the ONLY site where I have been allowed to speak my mind so it's the best. I was not actually banned from other sites, but gave up on them because of the repeated harassment of whiners appealing to moderators trying to silence me while the whiners and harassers break every rule of the site repeatedly. This is the best site, whine away when I ban you for being rude, crude, and/or disruptive in my debates.
Knowing how you don't have any self awareness, I think it is safe to say that when the moderators banned you on those other sites they were highly justified, and when you say they broke the same rules you are 100% wrong.
The problem with your ban happy debates is that you have eliminated an actual debate. It is, by definition, only a debate if both sides can be heard. This is CreateDebate, not CreateBlog.
Also, your bans are inconsistent and hypocritical. You are happy that you can come here for free speech, but you ban people for using certain words. Many times the person isn't even disruptive, you didn't like a single word in the post. You have banned people for using acronyms. You have also banned people who make real arguments that use clean language.
You are also one of the biggest menaces on here because you don't like to debate, and you hate that people with opposing viewpoints to you are able to make good arguments. So, you spam debates and hassle people who aren't doing anything to you.
I don't know what you are trying to say, but the last time I looked at you saying anything to me, you implied that I was engaging in sexual intercourse and am mentally challenged. That was not very nice of you, it was quite potty mouthed, and I have to say you are a bad boy and God will forgive you and save you from Hell if you will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ...if not, He'll keep you in Hell forever where sin belongs.
I was never banned from another site. I got tired of moderators who didn't care about idiots like you talking dirty and hateful in every imaginable way while they told me I was supposed to be nice. Yeah, right. Go cry me a river.
Did you know that in baseball the word foul means a batted ball that settles on foul territory between home and first base or between home and third base, or bounds past first or third base on or over foul territory, or first falls on foul territory beyond first or third base. Woah!
Yes, I once caught a long fly hit to me as the other team figured I was most likely to bobble and they tried to hit to me...this one was far out of bounds, my team kept me shifted over toward the foul line while they covered larger areas in center and left field...guy hit it long and going far foul and I said to myself "I can get that" as soon as it left the base and I ran it down almost diving way out in foul territory, ended the inning and the crowd cheered me all the way in.....one of my rare moments where I did something right playing baseball.......and I was usually good for a base hit as I knew how to swing light and easy and poke it just over the infielders heads.
"Foul" also means polluted, stinking, obnoxious, rotting....that's generally the way I use the word. I don't follow sports any more, don't have time to play.
It does help having somebody making decent comments which are on topic and not using profanity so I don't have to ban them...thanks. I'm glad you didn't leave the site forever.
hahahaha, thanks for the comment, I'm sure it helps.......Jesus is my friend, I'm sure of that, as for the people on here? I think most of them would cheer to see me crucified.
I think Cartman needs some help, he seems like his head exploded trying to explain his atheistic beliefs. I only asked him a few questions, asking him to help me understand his beliefs so that I could make sense out of them......then he went ballistic on me cussing me bad, and back on my auto-ban list. I don't consider him to be my friend, he's an enemy but I hope he realized God loves him and he can be saved from Hell by the Savior.

t-roy, Jesus Christ is the best friend a person can have, He's alive, He is God, and He will never leave you or forsake you if you will receive Him as your Savior, He will be your life and you will be with Him forever in Heaven......there is nothing better in this world than knowing God loves you and knowing Jesus is your friend forever. You can know. I'll be happy to help you know for yourself.
Proof the "Demon Hunter" is not Christian but is demon inspired....

I never thought of the Jesus Christ angle, I admit. And I'm a Christian too! interesting choice.
He did supposably walk around and show himself to some people after rising from the dead so I guess in that respect he fits the zombie criteria. but I never really believed those stories. I just can't see my Lord and Savior offering his flank to a doubter and saying "hey see here, I really was pierced for your transgressions. stick your hand in my wound and see!"
proof from your own words that you are not a Christian

I simply copy and pasted the guys own comments with the name and point reference attached in his post showing it is copy and pasted. I don't care about the number. I would not call the points stupid, the site design has a purpose for the points.
the point being that I could feasibly post 15 times in a row on my own debate, ban anyone else who comes on so I don't get down votes and effectively pad my score? it doesn't reflect anything worthwhile, it doesn't even show how good or bad you are at debating as it penalizes you for down-voting people. If the argument isn't a good one, why should I be penalized for noting it as such?
I think I get down voted far more then people vote for me, probably ten to one thanks to the haters. They must switch screen names and then come in and cast votes, I don't know...but if you look at my debates, you will see the votes going up up up on people who are banned and my votes going down. I really don't care. Knowing people care about their points, I used to just vote them down as much as much as possible just to annoy them after they were rude and profane, disruptive and harassing toward me. I actually tried to keep my point total down by voting them all down just to annoy them.....and it really does annoy a lot who care about their points. I really don't care about the points. What are you going to win if you get a million points? A T-Shirt with the site logo on it? Good for whoever wins, but I really don't care that much....I suppose if I actually was given a t-shirt I would advertise the site, but it's just a t-shirt.
I rarely down vote anybody any more, just a waste of time to me. People don't vote according to the quality of an argument, they vote more according to their like or dislike of the person posting. If it makes you happy, I'll upvote all your posts for a while.
some people say the most stupid, rude, and profane things and then get a bunch of upvotes........like they are being cheered for being idiots and making themselves look like rabid dogs. Who cares? When they act like that, I ban them and I'll post replies and not allow them to respond. If they don't like it, they should not have been so rude and disruptive to get themselves banned.
If people are not conversing in response to my OP but are just spouting off their own discourse on their own opinion, I don't care how well written it is, I'll probably ban them for ignoring my end of the discussion....like smilingboob, just spouts off and no matter how many times I answer him or how many different ways I answer, he says I dont' answer......the guy is just a big mouth fool who can't listen, a typical Dawkins parrot atheist. Those jerks can make their own debates, they don't need to come try to stomp mine into the ground to obliterate my OP or the points I'm trying to get across to people who might actually listen...and some do listen...not many, but I'm doing this for them and the fools who hate me will just have to try to not let the door hit them where the good Lord split them, and I don't want to hear them crying about being banned.
I mean, most of the time I do some of the things I do just to give you grief. This site is basically engineered to make your blood pressure skyrocket, so I do some mildly Obnoxious things. and for that I'm like... 3/4 sorry. I do it for my enjoyment, but I'm not really looking to cause anybody any hurt. I mean it's the internet... you kinda have to deal with the occasional tresspass don't you?
I expect people to hate me because I take sides with God against sin, my own sin first and all sin in others is the same, offensive against God and damaging to the sinners and I hate it and the sinners who love their sin hate me for telling them they are evil. It does not bother me, it did not bother Jesus when they crucified Him and I'm sure Jesus will get me through the worst of what haters can do to me...all they can do is send me to heaven so why should I be bothered by them? I'll say what I feel needs to be said and move on when it seems that saying more will be casting pearls to swine.
There is nothing more powerful than knowing the Jesus Christ is alive and will never leave you or forsake you if you will believe on Him, receive Him as your Savior, and know the power of His resurrection......and know the love of God which passes all understanding. Greater love than this has no man, that a man would lay down his life for his friends, but Jesus died for us while we were enemies of God. In His resurrection He offers forgiveness to all who He died to save, He conquered death and gives the victory to all who believe on Him.
We are all bad people, all have sinned against God, all deserve to die, and all can be forgiven and have eternal life through Jesus Christ who is God the Son and has power to forgive and keep you safe from dying and give you eternal life NOW and forever.. This is the gospel, the word gospel means good news....it's God's good news for mankind, all can be saved........few will be saved, most love their sin more than life. How about you?
I don't deserve to be saved. I think that's the only proper way to think. the second you believe you're entitled to something, the second you get it taken away. I don't assume that god will save me. I honestly lack the courage to ask. I deserve the full hell I make for myself, and in that way, I'm both more humble and more full of idiotic pride than anyone else that's out there. I'm full of a stubborn will that makes me feel like I can face hell alone. not because I am strong, but because it's not my place to ask god for that kind of help.

it's kinda like the parable footprints. except I don't want him carrying me. I Want guidance, a direction and something in the end I can thank him for. something I know I couldn't have done without his direction, like lasting good in the world. even if it's a march through hell to get there. I want to do as I'm told.
-
So, I pray for a path. and a direction. I pray that his words might inspire mine, so that as I write a novel, or a song, or anything it can be something that glorifies him. nothing ever seems to come of it though. so either he answers, and I'm too foolish to see it, or he hasn't answered a prayer in my life. I can't expect him to though, he's got a world to run. maybe many worlds.
God will let you have your own path, but He made the Way for you to have eternal life, Jesus is the Way, the truth, and the life....no man comes to the Father but through Him. God wants you to trust Him to save you.....then He will be your life and you can be set free. Jesus said "if you continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". The path you choose for yourself will bring frustration and disappointment. Jesus brings joy, for the joy that was set before Him He endured the cross and He can take you through the worst the world can throw at you, and give you joy as you go through it knowing He is your God, your life, your love, your hope of glory in Heaven.
Get a good old King James Bible and start reading the gospel of John, or read it online.....stay with the King James, the other versions are fake and change key words and passages and leave a lot out.....you can read it online.....the gospel of John is very easy reading, an easy flow in the style, very tenderhearted as John was the disciple closest to Jesus and later was given the Revelation of Jesus Christ after he was executed by being boiled in oil for refusing to stop preaching about Jesus......but somehow he survived being boiled in oil and could not be executed again under Roman law so he was exiled to the Isle of Patmos where God gave him the last book of the Bible, The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
but see, I don't get the fundamentalist ideals there. the whole idea of prophets speaking in tongues should mean that any translation of the gospel is equally valid, shouldn't it? would god truely condemn somone for the reason that they read and interpreted one iteration of the bible instead of another? and if that's the case, why should we read it in english, and take the english versions as true, if the book itself is written ages ago in Hebrew or Arabic?
-
I suppose you may oppose this notion, but The paths god sends us on are diverse. perhaps for me I'm meant to sing his praises and travel the nations over to do so. perhaps you're meant to bring people to god by way of a debate site, but in the end, does that mean that if I follow the teachings of Christ, but do so not as a follower to the same words as you, that my path is less valid? Could not god speak to us as individuals, through various means, much in the same way that he was the burning bush for Moses yet spoke to Mary by way of an angel?
-
I'm not saying your path is wrong, I'm asking why you think it's the only righteous one. If I have begged to be set on the correct path, and do so continuously, then follow a path to it's end and destroy some modicum of evil, and then give glory to god for the wondrous things that I have done, even if it's not by way of your selected book, am I not following god?
Nope. first of all, I do not believe in speaking in tongues. The tongues in some churches today is not the tongues of the Book of Acts. There was a problematic kind of tongues which was first mentioned in the Book of Corinthians and is in many churches today.
There is only one English version of God's word, the rest are fakes. They all disagree with each other. God cares about His word the same as you care about your word. If I change your words around, then say it's what you said, it is not what you said but it is my own version of what you said....and it would be fraudulent for me to say it is your word.
Jesus said He is the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Him. He is the only way to Heaven. If you try to get into heaven any other way, you are trying to get in like a thief.
God speaks to us all as individuals, and He is the same always. His word never changes. We have His word. Jesus is the living Word of God, the Bible is His written word. Yes God spoke to Moses and Mary in different ways at different times, but He never changed, He is the same person then as He is now and He never changes His word, never lies. He will speak to you and you know it's Him because it's in His word.
My path is not righteous, Jesus is my righteousness as it is He who paid for my unrighteous ways so I am forgiven. I have no right, no righteousness in myself, none in my own way, I'm all wrong and Jesus made things right between me and God so I am forgiven, Jesus is my righteousness, He is the righteousness of God and His blood covers my sins so God sees me as washed clean, in Christ I am made righteous, the new me is created in righteousness unto good works in Christ Jesus.
You cannot destroy the evil in your own heart, no matter how much you do that seems good, there is corruption in your heart and your whole life is polluted by it, you can't earn life, you can't do enough good to get out of dying, you need God's mercy and you need His blood payment for your sins in Jesus Christ, you need Jesus Christ to be your Savior or you cannot be saved from your sins, from dying, from Hell.
The Bible is God's book, His word, His love letter for mankind. I recommend the gospel of John as a starting point. Just read it, slowly, try to take it in. All the things you are saying and asking me are answered in the gospel of John much better, much more beautifully than I can answer, though I am extremely careful to keep my words in agreement with the Bible because I do not want to be out of line with God. Read it please, it will help in the discussion to focus on what God says.
This one is for you, the preacher gets into his personal life story starting around the ninth minute...the story of the dog leads into it, start at minute 9 if you want to skip past the opening 8 mins of preaching..........Just start at minute 9, listen to the story of the dog that leads into the man's life story. It's a short version of his story, I have the longer version on CD and highly recommend it.....
I really want you to watch this one, talk about a guy who deserves to be in Hell....
I did a lot of wicked, selfish, mean things in my life....repented of all my sin and believed on Jesus. The things I used to do, I don't do them anymore, the places I used to go I don't go there anymore, the things I used to say I don't say them anymore, I know this is the hand of the Lord. I'm forgiven, a new creation in Christ, there's a new me who will be fully revealed in Heaven when I am forever changed to be like Jesus and know for real in experience what I know for real by faith now, and in experience.....I literally jump for joy knowing when my time is over I'm going to be with Jesus!! I'm forgiven!!! My boast is in the Lord who loved me and died for me, I know I'm a wicked old sinner who deserves to burn in Hell, I know I'm no good in myself, unworthy....but I know I'm saved, forgiven, and I thank God for His mercy and for His goodness!!
I'm in constant pain, most every day have extra pains that come and go, and it will probably get steadily worse if the Lord gives me more time in this world...but I still shout for joy, still jump (not as high as I used to, can't get off the ground sometimes, but I leap!) No matter how bad things get in this world, I'm not burning in Hell like I deserve, things are always better than I deserve and I'm thankful beyond words for God 's mercy and for creating me and giving me life, and I will serve Him, honor Him, praise Him forever and ever as this is what He made me for, His own pleasure showing His own goodness and glory.....to God be the glory forever and ever.....he is worthy to receive honor and glory and blessing, all praise belongs to Him for it is He who made us.
Kayne, if you really mean this, you can have all of your heart's desires if you just believe on Jesus.....

Jesus said "if any will be my disciple, let him take up his cross and follow me". His path is through the cross, the place where He died for us, and to follow Him we go the same way...He is the way, He went through it for us, and can take us through for His own honor, His own glory, His own namesake, and if we trust Him He will give us our hearts desire so good we can't even begin to imagine how good it's going to be when God give us all things freely to show His own greatness and goodness in Heaven where we will joyfully serve Him forever, thanking him always for creating us, for dying to save us from Hell.......God loves you and wants you to be His son, a joint heir of Heaven with Jesus the Son of God.
Admit you are a sinner, unworthy, who needs forgiveness
Believe Jesus took your punishment in death and rose bodily from the grave conquering death for you, to pull you up out of it with Him, forgiving you of your sins which He died for and took to the grave and buried and left them behind.....
Call on God the Father in the name of God the Son, Jesus, to save you and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior by faith. Do this ABC sinner's prayer honestly meaning it whole heartedly in your own words between you and God and believe on Jesus and He will come in to your heart and make you a new creature, a child of God born of His Spirit........and He will guide you and never leave you or forsake you and give you strength, grace, to follow Him, trust Him, no matter how hard things seem he makes it easy to go through it because He already went through it for us and we can trust Him to take us through.......and let Him write the story of your life, let Him give you new songs and he will.....He will, Kayne, and He'll beautify the meek with salvation.....He'll make your story one to be remembered beautiful forever in Heaven, for your story will be His story of what He did for you......it's the love of God, Kayne, that enriches the soul and makes a poor man more wealthy than any billionaire who does not know they are forgiven and going to heaven......only believe....Jesus is the way, He's alive and will make all things new for those who believe on Him as their Savior
well I am new here so my opinion may not be considered to count for much by some of you. but I have been on other sites before. this site so far I think is fair to good, but it needs some heavier moderation.
people like you for example need to be reigned in by the mods. You hijack threads all the time with zealous dogma, which is an offense that many sites will give a warning for and then an outright suspension for a few days for continued infractions.
I also don't like the "ban" feature that gives the debate author the right to ban. this is silly. again, it allows too much power to the hands of partial biased and inept debaters like yourself. who can't com up with decent intelligent replies, so they just fart and thump their bible and click the ban button.
I say this as a Christian, mind you. I believe in fair and moderated and objective debates, not hijacking and hegemony.

The only thing better (currently) than the other debate websites is it has more active members so there is more to comment on. That's the only reason I'm on here more than forandagainst or yickyak.
The moderator ban feature is an abomination, and not because "it sucks, I cry when banned" but because it allows @ssholes to throw stink bomb arguments and then dodge any blow back. Banning is the ultimate punk maneuver. It's the action of cowards.
Site owner - I would be curious if you are able to run a data report to see just how many bans happen and happen by which members. I think you would find that about 1% of the population commits 99% of the bans. And then I submit for your consideration that maybe if as site owner you're looking for the troublemakers to ban you may more likely find them among that 1%.
So you are not crying about being banned, you are throwing a temper tantrum and trying to dominate the discussion by being a punk using bullying tactics. Awwwww, poor little baby, I hope things get better for you, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya but get out of here you punk.
