My perceptions of Islam aside, I think this is a good way to narrow down the debate. Let's focus on what Christ taught and whether or not these are good moral lessons.

I envision this debate topic:
"Christ's Teachings: Good or Bad"

Nope. I said lets talk about what followers of Christ have done for the children of the world. You said that Christianity is destructive and dangerous and the greatest disaster to befall humanity and is WHOLLY MALADAPTIVE to the the survival of human civilization in the future.

So lets hear you defend that with the specific area being how it has been destructive for children specifically.

I hope you are not trying to wiggle out of this now.

I have cold hard facts and statistics at the ready. I am ready to defend my position. If Christianity is so bankrupt then you should be ready too.

In fact, let us just focus on what atheists have done and what the followers of Christ's teachings have done. Let us compare the two side by side. Let us finally put all this petty bickering to rest. I have evidence, I have proof. That which you all have been asking for. So lets roll.

The children....what have atheists done for the children of the world. You defend that while I defend mine.

I do not think D-P is up to what I have challenged him on. I hope he is. Not that it will mean much to you. But I do so hope that you follow our debate.
