>Reported Vote: Type1 // Mod action: Removed

>Points Awarded: All 7 points to con

>Reason for Decision: Pro essentially just made a bunch of arbitrary claims supported by nothing but "God says so" or "the bible says so". This both constitutes a shitty argument and shitty conduct. Also since his only source, not only in this debate but his only source of information in general is the bible, he also has shitty sources. Plus his grammar must be atrocious after reading so much bible bable, I mean seriously, who spells shall as 'shalt" anymore, that's like sooooooooooo 600 BC gurlfriend.

>Reason for Mod Action: This vote does not meet the COC standards.

I've got a lot to do today, but someone remind me in a couple days and I'll vote on this...

Type1 How is love and logic material?

Mornism was a typo of Monism, nor Mormonism, just to be clear.

Theism is not based on God, it's based on man's unproven faith based belief that there is a God.

Materialism is logical because everything is material, logic, love, truth, knowledge, and information all have a physical basis.

being "inconsistent with morality" has nothing to do with whether it is true or not. If you need God's "objective" social constructs just to prevent you from going crazy and killing people that speaks well enough for your sanity.

What if God changes his mind and changes the law of nature? You know nothing of science or philosophy and are just regurgitating talking points you heard in bible studies class.

Your remarks on the absurdity of atheism are just retarded baseless assertions with no substance behind them. Are you under the age of 18? Because I don't want to bash you too hard if you're a kid, and judging by your intellect it wouldn't surprise me if you were 10.

@Type1

''Theism is arbitrary because it is the faith and emotion based opinion of man''
Christian Theism is not based on man, it is based on God. Atheism is based on man.

Materialsm is illogical because not everything is material. Logic, love, truth, knowledge, information are not material, but they are real.

It is inconsistent with morality because atheism says we are only a bunch of chemical put together with no purpose. If that is the case then it should be fine to kill atheists since they are no different than animals or chemicals.

We do science based laws of nature that we say will remain the same. In the atheist worldview the laws of nature have not always be the same so there is no reason to do science if the laws could change tomorrow.

Please read my remarks on the absurdity of atheism in my debate.

I can't get over how stupid pro is, it's like super irritating.

"Atheism is arbitrary because it is the opinion of man sitting as the absolute authority of any subject."
lol. Theism is arbitrary because it is the faith and emotion based opinion of man rather than reason sitting as the absolute authority.

"It is illogical because it relies on strict materialism."
Why is that illogical? Are we not made of matter? There is more evidence for matter than there is for magic God juice being the source of existence.

"It is inconsistent in its view of morality and borrows from the Bible for morality."
Why would you assume that? What objective reasoning says I shouldn't feed christians to lions?

"Doing scientific inquiry is predicated on the Bible being true."
The opposite is true, because science is based on evidence and the bible is based on mindlessly accepting superstitious nonsense with no evidence.

"Atheism also borrow the laws of logic from the Bible."
There is no logic in the bible you stupid piece of shit.

"Lastly, atheism leads to the path of absurdity."
You are just making assertions based on bias, faith, and your own insanely low intelligence levels. You are literally subhuman as there is no other excuse for such baseless drivel being spewed in the fucking information age when so much knowledge is available.

The pro of this debate is particularly novice-like.
