Ha, it was tempting, but I'd really rather learn from the source. Already talked to all the people I know and still have a lot more to go.

I came here for necessary academic purposes, not to debate. That said, I can have all the debates I want without paying for them lol.

I did not come here for academic purposes but to debate! We have experienced a barrage of like requests from christian students lately. None which seem to want to engage with us as human beings. Always as test subjects. We do have christians on our forum, some very loved, that argue human to human. You seem like you might have that potential. Stick around awhile!

Gladly. I'm genuinely interested in hearing what others think. And debating is obviously fun too ha.
