Out of curiosity, what reasons are stopping you from adopting religion? Specifically, what is it about Christianity that deters you away?

I have a few topic ideas I'd like to explore in a new debate and would love to hear your thoughts, as you'll likely be the ones reading it. I wouldn't want people to read a boring debate, so feel free to share your thoughts. Please feel free to comment below if you'd like to participate in any of these topics or if you have any suggestions for new ones.

I'll list the topics in order from "most common/least interesting" to "least common/most interesting," based on how familiar I think people might be with them. By "most common," I mean topics that are often debated and may feel overdone, like an overplayed song. I'd prefer to avoid familiar topics if everyone already knows them well.

TOPICS.

  1. Are the dual natures of Jesus contradictory or self-refuting?
  2. Do the Marian Dogmas have theological basis?
  3. Does Purgatory have theological basis?
  4. Is the Trinity logical?
  5. Do any of the Seven Sacraments have theological basis?
    • For the purpose of the debate, we would be selecting one Sacrament
  6. Is the Bible a reliable source?
  7. Is the Trinity in the Bible?
  8. Does the Bible claim Jesus is God?

There is a few debate topics I might be interested in participating in. The list is as follows:

  1. Does the Bible claim Jesus is God?
  2. Is the Bible a reliable source?
  3. Establishing the trinity
  4. Is the idea of purgatory mentioned in the Bible?

I'm curious to know what the people on this website want to see for a debate. Drop down some suggestions that I can consider.

I have not come up with the following problem myself, it is a mere copy-paste. The problem is though-provoking and I am curious to know your opinions.

You are on a boat that is sinking. You do not know if there are other life rafts, but the life raft you are on can only hold 9 people apart from you. From the following list, who do you put on the raft and throw off.

  1. A doctor, GP, who has an addiction to drugs and is very nervous
  2. A black Protestant Minister
  3. A prostitute, but is an excellent nurse, she has already saved a drowning child and put him on another lifeboat
  4. A criminal. Charged with murder and can navigate the boat.
  5. A mentally disturbed man, who carries important government secrets in his head
  6. A law-abiding salesman. He sells automatic washing machines and is also a member of the Rotary Club
  7. A crippled boy, paralyzed since birth. He cannot use his hands and is dependent on others.
  8. A housewife with two children at home 
  9. A Jewish restaurant owner, married with 3 children at home
  10. A teacher considered one of the best in England
  11. A Catholic Nun, supervisor of a girl's school 
  12. An unemployed man, formally a professor o literature. He has a great sense of humor and is a decorated soldier for his contribution in the last war and was in a concentration camp for 3 years.
  13. An Irish man studying to be a pharmacist
  14. An Irish woman, studying to be a nursery teacher
  15. An American, he is also a Neo-Nazi and thus hates the Jew. However, he has a large box of food which he will throw into the sea unless he goes into the lifeboat
Good luck.
