Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God

Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God
We'll play by a few simple rules:
I. No personal attacks
II. No Threats of Eternal Damnation
III. You cannot use anecdotal evidence to support your claims (i.e. "My mother saw God when she had a near-death incident and she talked to Jesus")

The debate doesn't necessarily have to be a Deistic God vs. Atheism debate (although I'd prefer that) and I'm fine if whoever comes up to debate me defends the god of their religion.

We have an actual debate area, you know. Though I wouldn't hold your breath on getting a decent opponent; in the last debate we couldn't even get the theist to follow the damn rules.

Could you move the thread into the proper area?

You are going to go in very unsatisfactory circles with theists on this subject.

Indeed, as recent examples have shown.

i just want to put this out there ROFLOL .
none of the theists on this forum will give a proper debate and will run in circles. but if you want to debate them fine by me ill be sitting back from the side lines.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

This just disqualified about a dozen of them.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

How you feelin' Elskidor?
"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

You're fine where you are, I just figured I'd point you in the right direction if and when the time comes.
