TiS could say that God is the God of the bible and is both omnipotent and omniscient and LV can accept that definition and allow debate to commence. TiS, it really is important that you define your idea of God prior to the debate happening or allow for a more defined topic.That was actually what I proposed initially.
Does God exist could be a discussion on Odin. Does the God of the Bible exist is far more narrow. The topic can be "Does God exist" so long as both parties agree on the presupposed definition of the term.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
