Description
I will be forfeiting Round 1 because I require arguments to rebut.
It is Con's burden to prove the existence of God.
My burden is to rebut the claims brought forward.
Round 1
Waiving so that Pro can give an argument for me to rebut.
While I want to rebut you you so we can't all have what we want
Round 2
My Round 1 stated:
Waiving so that Pro can give an argument for me to rebut.
This meant the person who has a green background to their icon above would need to give their argument. Red background is Con.
From this:
While I want to rebut you you so we can't all have what we want
You haven't stated you were confused over what I stated in the description instead I am assuming you are asking me to change the rules you accepted. Let me clarify the description so that we both know what we are doing.
I will be forfeiting Round 1 because I require arguments to rebut.
"I" as in the instigator with the red background and the person who created this debate.
It is Con's burden to prove the existence of God.
Now this is where I should have been more clearer. I tried to correct the debate in the comment section but you did not reply so I am going with what I mean with "Con's" is contender's.
My burden is to rebut the claims brought forward.
"My" as in the instigator with the red background and the person who created this debate.
i don't really want to do this debate anymore because it is very hard to argue and I thought I could do it but I couldn't so I'm sorry.
Round 3
i don't really want to do this debate anymore because it is very hard to argue and I thought I could do it but I couldn't so I'm sorry.
You can. Simply make arguments for God. Not be fallacious and my burden would be to rebut your claims.
sorry
Round 4
What changed?
Forfeited
Round 5
Don't have anything to do apart from waive.
Forfeited
I think there's a good chance I got a 5, this was way easier than my mock and I feel like I had a good grip on it
Then again I got a 2 on my mock so who knows lol
This is an exception, I require arguments to rebut. I can't simply make my own arguments because then I would be potentially straw-manning my opponent's position.
What score do you think you got on the test? I think I got a 2 or 3 on my test.
Oh i thought u didn't like to forfeit rounds. What a shame you are going against rules you thought were stupid. Dont u want to maximize argument space? smh hypocrit
Thanks lol me too
Hope you get a 5 on both.
I just took AP Lang today and I’m taking AP World History tomorrow
I know that feeling. What AP test?
I’m studying for AP tests, so I’m not accepting any new debates
Do you want to debate me?
Lol never mind
I'lldo this later when I have more time.
What would be your position in this debate?
I need to know so that I understand what I am supposed to do.
What do you mean?
...
You deserve better
Do you agree to a do over as in I ask Virtuoso to remove this debate fix the problem and we can start or you can agree with the fix I gave in the comments?
Your choice and if you don't want to comment here please do address what you chose in your Round so I know what I am supposed to do.
I can only delete debates if your opponent agrees as well.
Just to make sure:
The description should say It is Pro's burden to prove the existence of God.
Are you okay with that change?
Made a mistake can you remove the debate so that I can fix it?
You may want to delete this and remake it with the error corrected... Setting some extra parameters might also be good for a clean debate (God in what sense? What is considered evidence? etc.). Plus these religious debates get needlessly long, perhaps cut the character limit down to 5k-10k?
lol
