Round 1
Are you saying that more people live a moral life thanks to Yugioh cards?
They are just cards. How can they improve a moral life?
Since I cant prove a negative, I guess burden of proof is on my opponent.
Let’s say you are leading an awful existence. Then God himself comes to you and says “the only way you can lead a moral life is if you obtain Yugioh cards."
Easy. Debate won.
Round 2
Did God say that to you?
And which particular Yugioh cards did he mention?
"Did God say that to you?"
Of course not.
I took this debate as “come up with a scenario where Yugioh cards are needed to lead a moral life”
And that’s exactly what I did.
Round 3
So your argument(scenario) doesnt exist right now?
No. But you never said it has to be. And the burden of proof is on you.
Anyway, here’s one that does exist right now:
Yugioh cards are made of paper, which is made of wood, which is tree, which is good for the environment, which in turn teaches us a moral principle. This can help us lead a moral life. Also, you can increase your vocabulary from Yugioh cards, which you can use to study morality.
Round 4
But some yugioh cards are never even used.
Do we really need 12000 of them?
If one card was missing, it wouldnt change anything.
True, but they can still be used to teach moral principles, as I mentioned above.
Round 5
I guess.
Exactly my point. And as you commented:
"The point of some moral systems is to create a good life. Yugioh cards are needed to achieve maximum happiness, for example. I really am gonna lose this debate badly."
I'm currently voting now.
I encourage everyone to vote.
Is no one gonna vote?
The point of some moral systems is to create a good life. Yugioh cards are needed to achieve maximum happiness, for example. I really am gonna lose this debate badly.
Yes you need yugioh cards for a good life, but this debate is about a moral life
"Someone could easily live morally without knowing what they even are."
It would be a worse life tho, not knowing what Yugioh cards are, so Yugioh cards are still needed for a good life.
But they are not NEEDED for a moral life. Someone could easily live morally without knowing what they even are.
Basically, the more time person plays Yugioh cards, the less time person has to commit a crime, so my opponent has an advantage here.
Thats for my opponent to figure out I guess. Maybe Yugioh cards make people morally better.
How could you possibly require Yugioh cards to live morally?
