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.
It should when you are being oppressed for it dingus. You are spewing the rectally odious fallacy that the sick ones are the ones who want to be free to be what they are and accepted in society, not the ones who are concerned about what others are for no reason that they are different and want to emulsify their butt hole tissue in a blender because of it so that no penis can go into them.
It goes against Gods law and that's all the reason I need to be against it. I still love the people and will go to them with the truth but I will not support their decisions to be disobedient to God
You didnt say how you know if God exisits? And I realize that but you dont have to swear is what I'm saying. We can gave an adult conversation without cussing
In my debates, I like to prove that God cannot exist, rather than does not exist. So here is some proof.
1. God violates the laws of physics. Remember in the beginning of most holy books, like the Bible, when God creates the heavens and the earth?
Well, look at this law of physics:
No matter or energy can be created or destroyed.
And there you have it! Proof that God does not exist.
Here's another:
The Bible says that God is omnipotent. Omnipotence is impossible, because in order to be truly omnipotent, God would be able to create a rock so large that even he cannot lift it. But then he is not omnipotent, if he cannot lift the rock. And if he can't create the rock, he is not omnipotent.
Look, in no way am I religious, but this is easily overcome by the idea that God exists outside our own universe. The laws of physics only apply in here, not out there. In fact, we don't even know for sure if they apply everywhere in here. For example in a black hole.

I just proved that god does not exist
In fairness you didn't. You plagiarised a thought experiment from the internet intended to illustrate the contradiction of God's omnipotence. In fact, this can be debunked without difficulty because it assumes that God cannot exist in multiple states simultaneously. Our brains interpret that to be a contradiction, but there is very compelling scientific evidence that it happens at least at the quantum level.
So, forgive me for playing Devil's advocate (given that I'm not even remotely religious), but maybe God is just really small?
Maybe, I suppose that I haven't disproved God, but that I have disproved the Christian God.
I completely understand where you are coming from, but you haven't even done that. Lol. It is very difficult -- if not outright impossible -- to prove something doesn't exist, because unless you can check literally every place there is, the believers in that thing can always say: oh, well it's in there.
Besides which, these guys are resourceful and cunning. They aren't about to let you shatter the power and status they have in life. Evolution should have buried the Catholic Church, but what happened instead? They embraced it as the work of God.
You can't fix this kind of crazy bro. That's why it's so dangerous.
The Bible says: In the beginning there was nothing. Then God created...
Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
Ah, OK. Now I understand. Unfortunately, they have the same counter-argument in that this rule only applies to our own universe, therefore they will argue that God created it when he created the universe.
The reason you (or I) can't win an argument against religious people is because they are not confined to the boundaries of what is reasonable. Whereas you or I might feel a bit silly saying certain things, they have absolutely no problem making outrageous claims and expecting others to just assume they are true.
What so you mean no evidence?. Where do you think the world came from. And everything that is happening in the world today is talked about in the bible.

He means you don't have any evidence that it came from a bearded omnipotent deity and that it is ludicrous to presume that, because you don't understand where the world came from, it therefore came from a bearded omnipotent deity.
If you dont think slavery is happening today then you are probably living underneath a rock. Just bc it's not legal doesnt mean it doesnt still happen. And the world coming to existence in a flashing light with everything coming from Nothing would be exactly how I'd picture things happening when God utters the three famous words in Genesis 1:3 of "Let there be Light"
There is no evidence for Genesis. There is evidence for the Big Bang. I find it really hard to believe that in the beginning, there was nothing, and then suddenly God appeared, and made some light (even though energy cannot be created or destroyed, and light it a type of energy)... it just doesn't make any sense. And just because it isn't how you picture things doesn't mean it is true.
Here's my history on this issue. When I was a kid and then a young man I was a total homophobic. I was so straight that I had no conception of what gay was. I had an older brother who was gay and I never realized it until I literally saw him kissing another man. I was horrified. I despised anything gay. I had zero gaydar. No mater how flamboyant I never could tell that I was interacting with a gay person. As time went by I realized that there were a few other gay people in the world aside from my brother. Just a few. Over the years I met more gay people and gradually realized I liked them. I got along with them fine. I even had one tell me he had a crush on me and I didn't freak out. I guess I'd evolved a little. I take no credit for being straight, that was just luck of the draw. I'm very glad that I'm straight, that's one thing about my life that's easy.
I've joked in the past that being straight is a negative because instead of getting married and having kids, if I'd been gay I'd have never done either and I would have been retired long ago so the joke was that being gay would have been easier. But I never seriously believed that. Gay and Trans people have a tough time just being who they are, just living their lives. The homophobes see to that.
I voted for gay marriage here in Washington State and it passed and you know what, the sky didn't fall in! (My joke then was that they deserved to be just as miserable as the rest of us.) Anyway, at some point I sort of had an awakening. I realized that if every other man on the planet were gay, I'd be the king of pussy! Yippee! Yes that's a bit of a ridiculous notion but the point is, I couldn't care less about who's gay or trans or any of it. What the hell is that to me? It takes nothing away from me at all. Gay and trans people have enough on their plate to have to deal with scorn and ridicule and hatred.
They won't get any of that from me.
I'll tell you one thing though. I do have gaydar now. I have really good gaydar. My gaydar alarm goes crazy every time somebody starts in bashing gay or trans people. I'm convinced that most of those people doing the bashing have secrets.
I'm not sure that homosexuality is abnormal because homosexuality exists in animals. No expert here but I don't think it's abnormal. Maybe it's a sliding scale from 100% straight to 0 percent straight and every spot on that scale is normal. Not average, but normal. I don't know, this stuff is complicated.
The extraordinary degree of personal insecurity a person must have to give one shit about how someone else identifies is thoroughly beyond me. This would not be an issue if these anti-trans weirdos were not obsessed with controlling other people; I wish these cissies would get over themselves already.
My argument is that once a similar thing was going on with homosexuality. Someone could ask "Is being homosexual okay? Should we support them and the homosexuality movement?" and not be shunned by society. At some point, it will take a while, mind you, transgenderism will become normalized, and we will no longer have to discuss this question.
I would let people be transgender if they want, but don't expect people to care. What really annoys me is when it comes up in conversation. Be transgender if you want, but don't make any outrageous requests, like when a mother that has changed gender wants to be labelled as 'father' on the birth certificate.

I think the problem for a lot of people is where this acceptance thing is leading. While I believe in the rights of gay and transgender people to express themselves, sooner or later someone is going to point out the hypocrisy of supporting gays while we simultaneously try to murder paedophiles. In both cases we are talking about an abnormal attraction which is taking place somewhere in the brain.
Your point is a good once, but the difference is that gayness harms no one, while paedophilia harms children as they are not sexually mature.
Well, I agree in principle but let's be specific. Paedophilia harms no-one unless it is acted upon. Expecting people not to act on their sexuality though is of course unrealistic. My point was only that we shouldn't really have opposite attitudes to essentially what is the same issue: abnormal sexual attraction.
Nobody in the entire world cares what you think. You sit on the internet all day trying to offend people. I actually can't think of anything more pathetic to do with your life.

Translation : you are the only one on site who does that as you type non stop through the night to stay top of a leader board proving the only loser her is you
I actually can't think of anything more pathetic to do with your life.
Yet your at it 24 /7 for the last six years screeching non stop “ you’re a Nazi /fascist “ or “You’re not a Jew “ ......you’re one sad fuck buddy
Dermot, you are stupid, boring and pathetic. You have no skill at anything in life, your mother was a whore and you struggle with the basics of your own indigenous language.
I’m stupid, boring and pathetic. I have have no skill at anything in life, my mother was a whore and I struggle with the basics of my own indigenous language, but hey seriously guys I have a time machine
I totally agree with your self assessment though not your constant claims about a ‘time machine ‘ that are pretty stupid don’t you think?
