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.
Did you? I missed that somewhere. Yes I would agree that is a far better topic for debate.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
