There is no "flyingspaghettiday", but there definitely is a "thursday" (thors day)

But, if you do not like me doing Asatru, I will gladly adopt a theistic position that is modernly popular.

Since you want me to take your position, then you should take mine. I'll agree to this if you defend Christianity. Otherwise I am not really interested.

Agreed.

I'm non-denominational and a trinitarian, as well as a bible literalist and a young earth creationist. My beliefs are all pretty mainline within that..I believe in original sin, the fall, the life death and resurrection, substitutionary atonement, the second coming, judgement day, heaven and hell. Here is a site that sums most of it up:

Wonderful.

I was raised Southern Baptist so I am very knowledgeable to the basics. I also spent some time in my youth at non-denominational "rock" church, so I think I can give this debate the justice it deserves.

ATTENTION MODERATORS
As I posted before, I sent a request to Tack. but if for some reason he cannot do this mod, is there another mod willing to take his place?

Can't any of the mods do this?

Theist mod after all....

(December 3, 2011 at 3:40 pm)Rayaan Wrote: Yeah, I could, but I'd rather have tackattack do it even though he's a retired mod.
This is going to be weird "formal" debate (if it happens). It should be called a "devil's advocate" debate.

I thought about taking part in such a debate but seeing as I've always been an atheist, I find it rather difficult to formulate any kind of argument for theism. Easy to argue as an atheist, nothing to defend. No burden of proof.
