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.
The devil asked me to invest in his small business he was starting; the afore mentioned personalized birthday cupcake delivery business idea. I told him I didn't want to invest in that; and he said, "what; you don't believe in me?"
So I said its not that I don't .....(previous post)
I don't consider it trolling, I'm not deliberately antagonizing people, I just quickly realized it is fruitless to try to have a reasonable debate on this site; so I use it to sharpen my comedy chops.
It's fruitless because there are so many trolls that think exactly like you do. So they say fuck it and everyone tries to be funny and humorous. Really, I have a sense of humor, however, I quickly realized this site is full of trolls, deliberate trolls.
And considering the recent events of X, Y, Z people being caught doing stupid shit and fucking around too much, making multiple accounts.... I'm sure you get the gist.
The other trolls on this site, whom I shall not name but are obvious, are liked because they're considered the "funny trolls", or "nice trolls".
But really, all bullshit aside. This site lacks serious conversation and focused "reasonable debates", as you say. And so, this site is used by many to "sharpen their comedy chops", which makes this site even more ridiculous.
So, thanks for urging on the trolls of this site and making it less like a Debate site. Polly want a cracker?
No, it is fruitless because people either deliberately don't understand a point I am making, and dispute a different point; or they just keep harping on one detail ignoring the bigger picture. But whatever.
If you think can give reasonable debate send me a private debate on a topic of your choosing and pick a side, I'll debate the other side.
Ah though the bigger picture here is that by your "points" that you think you're making (whilst trying to be funny) comes across as being troll like. And so, you may think it's nothing but really, you're helping the infestation of this site become more troll-like. So, that is the bigger picture.
What I find hilarious is that many people whom do not believe in God, or the devil, or aliens/demons, or X, Y, Z spend their time trying to proclaim their beliefs that X, Y, Z doesn't exist. It's interesting because they spend their time trying to tell the world that these things don't exist.
If you're a non believer and could care less about X, Y, Z believer, then, why bother trying to tell those that do believe that they're ignorant, or illogical, arrogant, or irrational, or just plain stupid?
It's like you're trying to make a ruckus for no good reason; simply wanting to stir the pot for no good reason.

Isn't it obvious? If the Muslims win, no more bacon double cheeseburgers, pizza with anything good on it, beer or tits.
The minimum argument length is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.
Yes I do believe in the devil because who would be the cause of all the evil that is happening around the world? How did people learn to be mean to each other if we all were nice at the start? Someone must've forced them to think like that, but who? The devil possibly. (Note: I'm Christian)
I suspect you are an atheist, and you did this to see if God was real (the belief in the devil would automatically constitute the belief in God.) I must say that it would not benefit the Devil to show up to an atheist, because he would start to believe, which would cause a convert. It is better for him to operate like the thief the Bible suggests, at least in your specific case. So
What I say makes plenty of sense. What's true and what is a belief is completely different.
There is nothing to prove that the devil is true and there is nothing to prove that he is false. That means I am left with the choice of selecting whether I believe he is real or not.
I believe that the only true enemies of goodness and our happiness that can doom our salvation are our own delusions and negativities, evil and ill will can not exist without them.
