That depends: would my opponent be responding with trite, one sentence responses filled with demonstrably false information represented as true, and quote mines represented as perfectly fine?
You don't get to expect the respectful tone of a formal debate while refusing to shoulder the responsibilities or expectations of respectful content that such a debate brings with it, Rev.
And as I've said, I am happy to debate you in a formal setting, if that's what you wish this to progress as.
Please respond to this, Rev. It seems to be everything you're asking for. Less responses, more formal setting...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
