We'll do it in standard debate format with four rounds..opening, 2 rebuttals, and closing.
RevJ will be taking the position of the theist with beliefs non-denominational and a trinitarian, as well as a bible literalist and a young earth creationist, original sin, the fall, the life death and resurrection, substitutionary atonement, the second coming, judgement day, heaven and hell as attained from http://100prophecies.org/christianity.htm
lucient will be taking the position of the atheist
The posting times will be one week with an open structured question session after the close, unless the participants would prefer to save questions for a separate discussion thread. If you still agree to the debate, please post an affirmative response with a projected start time for your openers.
Thank you Tack..I'm still up for the debate. I'll have my opening statement ready by tonight or tomorrow at the latest

I will post an introduction (for both parties and the debate) with start dates and times for each round after one of the admin's answers my question about condemned posting rights. Wouldn't want to start a debate and one of the proponents can't post their arguments. I will give all responses due by Wed. Morning 7:30 and the standard timezone will be US EST. One week per round, no other debaters. Any cancellation, and some initial rules on what I will moderate for I will state. After the conclusion, we'll open it up to questions, I'll open a separate discussion thread for the community members for the debate.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
