If that's going to be an example of the level of this debate everyone best wear boots.
Hey, that's not fair. I had misunderstood someone's joke that had a sexual innuendo. I don't think a quick mind that picks up dirty jokes in a trice is necessary in a debate. I'm also fairly certain my worthy opponents will not be making such jokes.

Yes, but where does debate get you in the real world? Nowhere, but dirty jokes will take you where ever you want to go. Everybody loves dirty jokes.

There'll be time enough for dirty jokes. Let me reach puberty first.
For now, let's concentrate on the debate. Hey but I'm not getting any response from Lion and Godschild.
That's funny. Godschild called me a "little child" and he said I fled when he suggested debating on the Bible. See this post as evidence:
http://atheistforums.org/thread-14612-po...#pid336303
To which I took up his challenge and agreed to debate on the Bible - whatever version he wants to use in this post:
http://atheistforums.org/thread-14612-po...#pid336363
Lion seems keen to do a debate provided there are more of them. I have agreed to taking on 5 of them. OK, Lion, if you want more chaps on your side, I agree. Take any number you want on your side. We are arguing on the Bible - your turf so it should be ok for the 10 of you or whatever the number may be.
Can we begin the debate now, please?

Those 2 sometimes disappear for days on end. I wouldn't be too hasty.

It's great to see them fight over God. Nothing is more funny than sticking 5 different religions like Baptist,Church of God, Catholic, Methodist, and Protestant in one room and have them argue over the most basic things like Baptism,the Trinity, Once saved, Born again, The virgin Mary. It is like throwing a bunch of stray cats in a closet and let them scratch each others eyes out. LOL

There's a huge difference here. What you will see in this debate, if there's going to be a debate (I'm still waiting for the others) is a battle between two camps. I will be arguing that the Bible contains untruths, falsehoods and even deliberate lies. The other camp (where there will be a multitude, possibly 5 or more men), is arguing against the motion of the debate.
The other camp consists of Christians who believe in the supernatural. I am one who does NOT believe in anything supernatural. As far as "belief" goes, I'm no different from Richard Dawkins. But I'm a devout altar boy and a Christian.
Let the battle begin!!!!!!!!!

... I just... really? No-ones going to call out the elephant in the room?
You're Christian, that traditionally means you believe in God and that he created the universe through means outside of nature. Also usually means you believe in life after death.
Hate to break this to you but God and the afterlife are both concepts defined as supernatural.
Please stop talking shit and get on with it.
Fuck me, this is the longest lead up to a debate I've ever seen. Shut the fuck up and wait for a response.

What about a man in a Big fish for 3 days? Yeah right and the acid in the stomach wouldn't kill him or the lack of Oxygen. Maybe he had gills.
The bible is full of stupidity and Myth. The best is the earth is 10,000 years old. It's laughable.

Or... I know this is totally crazy... don't snap at me for this bizarre thought... it is a fairy tale.  A fine story though... bit bland at times.
