Most religion was created, because years ago people wanted answers to things like, why do we have seasons. They created gods to answer these questions because they didn't understand the science behind it.

Chritianity (including Chrisidelphian-ity if that is a word) is based of fact, belief and experience, and was created by Jesus to give people hope instead of eternal death in hell after life on Earth.

Religion (Chrisianity included) is merely beliefs people have to give them hope, security and answers, which gives reasurance. People though have twisted religion, thinking it makes them holy, and killing people for it.

The bible states "love your enimies" and "do to others as you wish to be done to yourself." Religion gives hope and reasurance and makes the world a brighter place.

Unless idiots twist it into an evil mess.

If praying worked like you want, you would be even more of a spoilt brat. Don't you think God created people because he DIDN'T want to fill the earth with idiots like yourself?

Why the hell do you need to know how to build kiichen cabinets when the bibole tells you how to escape eternal hell, torture, death?

Where is your proof? You cannot make these FALSE claims with out proof.

"unforgiving". God sent his only son to go through the ,ost HORRIFIC TORTURE AND DEATH KNOW IN HISTORY to save us from our sin and therefore ETERNAL DEATH and you say he is unforgiving! He forgave us by sending his own FLESH AND BLOOD to die inhumainly to FORGIVE US! you are the sick-minded, selfish, uncaring, ungracious, un-everything god on this planet, person I have ever known or heard of. and you are the only person so far I can actually hate with a passion. I hope you feel proud.

God is a god of love, and he loves us so much that he gave us freedom. We are not robots. If we were robots then we would not love, hate, experience happiness, joy, depression or fear. If God jumped in everytime someone was about to die in a carcrash, everyone would drive at a million miles an hour in the middle of the road! If he stopped our actions having consiquences, he would be stripping us of free will, total freedom and turning us into robots.

I know that this is gonna sound stupid and blaspheming, and wrong, but being christian is loving and having a realtionship with the God and jesus. no I do not mean, snogging, sexy love, but the type in the bibloe, unconditional, self sacrificial love. the "love is patient, love is kind..." type of love. Also believing in God is kinda vital!

Just because the interpritations are not true, dosn't mean the actual original bible is

If a fish evolved into an amphibian into a reptile into a bird into a mammal, there would be loads of inbetween animals, like birds-repltiles with wings too weak to fly with. There are no follisils, bones, or any proof of these, so where did they disappear to?

Here is proof there has to be a god - or a totally independant being if you are really stingy.

Everything in this universe is winding down. Everything - everything is dependant on something else. We are dependant on Earth and the axel tilt, orbit, blah blah blah, so there has to be something (someONE acording to believers) in the centre of it all, dependant on nothing - totally independant, or the whole universe would collapse in on it's self. why hasn't it? Because there is a god.

Who cares about tradition. That tradition was only established because women were considered the man's possesion

Well der. how do you achieve anything without fighting for it?! fighting does not nessisarily mean bang bang your dead fifty bullets in your head, bombs explosions and destruction. I am fighting now. Debating is a verbal war if you think about it!

Blue might be her favorite colour but might not be her colour in sense of what suits her or not. Besides being so "I want BLUE i t is ny faaave colour it rox your sox off!" is so sad, and a man doing that is more confusing thatn a woman chosing the colour that suits her best over her favorite colour.

I also hardley think the preacher would say "SHIT" if he was a preacher

The entire universe is dependant on something else. We are dependant on Earth, sun, gravity etc... the sun is dependant on a ballance between gravity and expolding atoms. So, in the center, is a totally independant, self-dependant being God. Everything is winding down. Everything needs something else. If God didn't exist, and the big bang, or "gravity and a lot of space gunk" happened, where would the two thing that collided, or all that space gunk have come from anyway? I fyou say it was there since eternity, then how can you say God wasn't?!?!?!?!

To be alone and to be lonley are tweo different things, OK, but even if you fill up your time you can still be lonley. lONLEY IS where you feel alone. no matter what you do there will still be an empty space in your heart.

OK, so you don't nesisarily have to be alone to be lonley.

Sycalogical stastisctics show that people that have other people around them to support do better. You need people around you for every thing. I would rather be lonley because if you are alone that is just - horrible. Besides, if you are christian you are never alone or lonley.

Hydro-electric definatley. Wind power takes up too much room. 66.66666666% of our planet is water, why not use the water. It makes no noise. It does not look ugly.

I think that people who are praying at the moment might as well pray to a carten of milk

I think that you have no right to say that to people. I just showed this argument to my mates and we are offended beyond belief.

Think about it, saying your prayers at night or asking god for something will not cause that thing to happen. example: you wish to win the lottery. God is not a force that will make this happen

No one said that would happen. If God exists (which he does) then everything has a perpose. For example: Someone died in hospital and a woman held his toes and cried out "GOD HEAL THIS MAN" - prayer. The heart beat detector thingy started bleeping again. Not only proof of God, but proof that prayer works.

OK then, if you think that school uniform shouldn't be abolished, read this: Madame Chair, Ladies of opposition, Judges and Ladies of the floor, I am Lori and I belive that school uniform should be abolished. My colleagues and I (Rhiannon and Beth) will talk on Comfort, Creativity and Cost. I myself shall talk about creativity, individuality and formality.

Firstly, I shall talk about the school curriculum. OK, so there are the core subjects like Maths and Science which everyone has to do? But why do they teach us English, Art, D&T;? Because they want us to grow not only in knowledge and intelligence but creativity! Does our uniform help us to grow in knowledge, NO! Then it may as well help us grow in creativity!

Then we come to formality. Why do we wear school uniform? To look smart. But do we really look smart in school uniform? Unknown no. out of the 81 girls we surveyed said that they thought it was smart. Yes Ladies, ONE girl. So what makes it look smart, the polo shirts, and the pleated skirts? Polo shirts which some girls choose to wear as a casual garment outside of school. Polo shirts with fluff clinging to them? Pleated skirts which are being constantly being pulled up, trousers as tight as skinny jeans. I thought our school was meant to be known for its enthusiasm and friendships, but what looks enthusiastic about girls trudging along with matching clothes, socks and hair accessories. The only item of clothing not restricted by the regulation rules is underwear, and how long do we have before navy knickers become regulation? Our school uniform is not smart, it certainly wasn’t practically designed for the unpredictable and constant change in our English climate, and it is despised and loathed by all students. Anything that was formal in our school uniform has been wiped out by students. Why do they do it? Isn’t it evident that our fellow students our crying out for help.

My next point is still on the subject of formality. Firstly, when I was researching this topic, I typed the word formal into thesaurus.com. Some of the synonyms were decorous, nominal, and the Antonyms were unaffected and relaxed. Isn’t that what our students want to be, unaffected and relaxed? Besides, if a child is not unaffected, isn’t her schoolwork at great risk?

Now, my next point is the long-term damage of forcing school uniform upon innocent students. What is the point in school? To prepare us for the world.

SCHOOL uniform should be banned because little kids DON'T look cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

But WHEN THEY WEAR dresses THEY look GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

Different countries are famous for different things. China for it's culture, France and Italy their food, America it's hugeness, England it's smallness in comparison to it's influence (England Rox). If one person or group of people took over the whole world, we'd all be the same. We'd have the same goverments, and if that person was evil enough to strip each countries individuality like that wouldn't have to much of a sense of human rights or stuff, huh? But then if everyone rebbelled against them (which would be unavoidable) then there would be too much unnessisary blood shed.

It really depends on who you are. If you have been brought up in a culture where you are not allowed to eat meat, then it wouldn't be fair of people to say that it isn't the right thing to do. Or if your religion says you can't eat meat. Being Vegetarian is the right thing to do if you are eating sufficient protein and still being healthy.

"Nature made these things, not god" - INCORRECT!!!!!!!!!!

What I hate is, in a science lesson when children ask things like "Miss, who created water?" and the answer is "It was a chemical reaction which occurred during the big bang." The big bang did not happen. God created the world. Saying that a collision created life, emotion, death, has the probability of a metal factory exploding and creating a BMW with leather seats and an extra big boot. Look at the complexity of the human body. The talent, emotion, power to think, look at the nervous system, the skeleton. Open the curtains and look out side. If you see a rural setting, don't tell me God didn't create that, if you see an urban landscape, don't tell me the big bang created people with the ability to design and create buildings and the materials to make them. and the factories to make the materials, and the materials to make the factories etc...

Just face the facts, Nature did NOT make these things, GOD DID!

If you say Yes, then you could down mark people for using correct foreign grammar, but it was grammatically incorrect in English. A perfectly good argument would be marked poorly just because the debater is not English.
