New Levels of Low

[Lion IRC]

I will hang out till I hear back from Missluckie26 about the word count thing.

I dont mind if she wants to bump it up to give herself more elbow room, but I would hope that there be some upper limit on the word count.

3 substantive posts x 1500 words does force you to be a bit more succinct I guess and maybe she wants 3 x 3000 words or 5 x 1500

The Q&A round really shouldnt need a much higher word limit. The whole purpose of that part of the format would be to allow each side to pin the other down on a fine detail or specific point.

Eg.
*Lion IRC, please answer yes or no to the following question etc etc.
*Missluckie26, do you agree that my claim XYZ is true or can you give a source to refute it.

Having no word count limit on the opening and closing remarks seems perfectly reasonable IMHO.

There was also a query about the scope of Christianity and 'theological distinctives'. Here is the link again.

Heres a couple of others.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_Christianity

Mainstream Christian churches, including all of Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestant denominations, adhere to the creed and are thus examples of "Nicene Christianity".

I think its helpful to have a datum to reference to make sure we arent talking past each other about No True Scots issues so that Lion IRC doesnt try to rope in the Scientologists and claim credit for all the great things they have done for humanity.

This isnt a debate about Christianity versus Atheism or whether Hitler was/wasnt a Christian at the time he was urging the holocaust. This isnt a debate about whether science is more useful than Christianity.

This is about the case for Christianity being a net overall benefit to human kind as against the opposing claim that it has been overall a net HARM to humanity.

You put your big boy pants on...

Thats not good faith intent going into this debate.
