People have been debating this stuff for centuries. If you limit debate to things you haven't heard before, you might as well close up shop.
Again, this is not about limiting debate. This is about creating an easily accessed group of threads where specific, repeated and recycled canards are discussed and debunked. So any atheist who doesn't feel like reposting the same take-down of the same tired-old argument can simply post a link.
And yes, Summerqueen is right that the necroposting rule would need to be lifted for this subforum, since Christians should feel welcome to post their attempts to argue why these tired-old arguments are not really debunked.
There would also need to be super strict enforcement that any posts irrelevant to the specific argument the thread is discussing will be deleted. If you want to write, "say, that reminds me of...", start a new thread.
