To the Moderators, please!

he other camp consists of Christians who believe in the supernatural. I am one who does NOT believe in anything supernatural.

Um - not to take G-C's side ( because he's a fucking idiot ) but how can you call yourself a xtian if you don't believe in the resurrection? How much more "supernatural" can you get than a dead jew coming back to life?

If you reject that particular piece of bullshit why even bother to call yourself a xtian?

The resurrection is a fable in the Christian culture. You don't have to believe it happened in order to practise the faith. My former Archbishop of York (the second highest in CoE hierarchy) denied even the existence of the historical Jesus. He denied more than the resurrection. Would you call him a non-Christian?? Surely not. Let's get real!!!!

However, the resurrection is a beautiful tale that we can use to build up the community of faithful. What better imagery than our Lord rising from the dead. Surely we can be inspired to do greater things if we just think of that fable.

Lion and Godschild, can we quickly agree on the debate? I can't spend much time on AF because I really have a lot of work to do but I can do the debate when I'm resting between studying. The debate will be my break from my studies. Please hurry!!!!!!

Let me know who will be participating as my opponent and who will be the spokesman posting the debate on behalf of the rest. I will then write to a moderator and request him to enable the Debate forum for me and the spokesman. Since I'm proposing the motion, I will probably have to begin. If you don't agree and would like to begin, I'm fine with that too. How many rounds should we have? Unlimited? Shall we argue one point at a time or various points at one go? What time limit should we fix for the other party to post his rebuttal?

I have written the other suggested rules earlier on this thread. Please let me know if they are ok with you.

Let the battle begin, folks!
