You haven't explained it at all, you just call the statistics "fake" and accuse white people of crimes. When someone dismisses all statistics that disprove their narrative as "fake", it seems that they have a problem with accepting the facts...
Also, I really hate how you always say stuff like "as a people" and then blame me for it and claim that I'm somehow hypocritical. I am not people, I am a single person. I'm an individual not responsible for the actions of other whites. Do you think it would be fair for me to blame you for the crimes of Bill Cosby or some other black criminal? Of course it is not. So why would you do the same for me, just because I am white?
Your vote will probably get deleted soon. In order for your vote not to be deleted, you have to analyze each round and then explain your reasons for voting, not just write a single sentence.

Right-wing and left-wing are outdated terms
People just use them for their beliefs to get re-affirmed
If you look at the scales that the right-wingers make,
Obummer is next to Hitler and Trump's really far away!
But if you take a tiny glimpse at the ones from the left
Nazis are right next to those who think taxes are theft!
This is now beggining to sound like a rap battle
So I'm getting into my ass-kicking rap shuttle
And pushing up my rhyme-quality rap throttle
Prepare to hear OP rhymes coming from my supraglottal!
I think that in this debate, the burden of proof should be shared and not only on Con, since you're making a claim as well. It's the job of the person making a claim to prove that claim, not the job of the opponent of the claim to prove that claim wrong. It would be wrong for your claim that God does not exist to win simply because Con could not provide sufficient evidence. As I'm sure you know, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and just because we cannot prove the existence of God does not mean that God does not exist.
Your title says that it takes more faith to be an atheist, but your description says something completely different. Maybe you would change the title to something more related, such as "Does the Theistic God Exist?"
I think it would be better to say "we don't have enough evidence to conclude that he did" instead of "no he didn't". You can never be absolutely certain that Jesus did not rise from the dead.
Sorry I did not mention your arguments, but you that would have taken me so much time. You win just on grammar, since Pro's formatting is absolutely terrible.
In order to win, you have to prove that symmetrical objects have to have been measured by an intelligent being. You have never done so, in all of your time on DebateArt.
Since the position I am supposed to take was not clarified in the debate description, I will be arguing that we don't have enough evidence to conclude that ESP is real.
If you want them to be easier to read, only skip one or two lines. Not twenty. And in one of our recent debates, you skipped around a hundred lines - which makes me think that you're just trying to make your argument look larger.
How do you define gun bans? Is it banning any type of gun, or specific types of guns? Would you support any type of gun to be available to the populace?
I am so close to beating my head on the table right now from your stupidity. Can you not perform simple mathematical calculations?
149.6 million divided by 384 thousand equals THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE!! If you don't believe me, grab a calculator and perform this simple division yourself.
Why can't you just accept that you are wrong?
Hint: In the article your provided, NASA says "about", not exactly. When they say that the Earth is about 400 times closer than the Sun, they are simply rounding. The actual number is 389. But then pseudoscientist bullshiters like you take these rounded numbers to claim that the Universe is full or great coincedences. So they don't disagree with me, but they do disagree with you. I haven't proven NASA wrong because they don't disagree with me.
It's not 383, it's 389. You can't even get your numbers straight.
My source was right in the comments, and by using simple mathematics we can determine that Earth's distance from the Sun is 389 times larger than the Earth's distance from the Moon.
I know what arm span is, and it is irrelevant to the claim that God created everything.
Look, would you rather listen to some site or an actual calculation using verified sources? 'Approximately 27' and 'Exactly 27.3' are two very different numbers. Like I said in my vote, all of those coincidences are a result of estimation. For example, before we talked about the number 400, and the number 389 turned out to be right. But someone could easily say that the number is "around 400" and he wouldn't be wrong. So the actual numbers differ, it's just that people round them up to prove their own points.
Distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,600,000 kilometers [1].
Distance from the Earth to the Moon is is 384,400 kilometers [2].
149.6 million divided by 384,400 equals 389. It's called mathematics, which you are apparently unable to do. Maybe next time try to perform the calculations yourself instead of just citing random sources? Calling my calculations "bad math" is not an argument.
Circumference of the Moon is 10,821 kilometers [3].
Circumference of Earth is 40,075 kilometers [4].
10,821 divided by 40,075 equals 0.27001, which is roughly 27 percent. This is far from 27.3, which you claim is the actual number. Next time, do the calculations yourself and don't trust pseudoscientic websites.
Your arbitrary crap can easily be disrpoved with Wikipedia and a calculator. Try again.
The human body also has many design flaws. For example, our appendix is useless but 7% of all adults get appendicitis. Why would God give us such a pointless and harmful organ?
White males commiting mass murders does not make you exempt from citing your sources and quoting agencies correctly.
If you took those reports from news sources, then why not provide any links, even after you were asked to do so twice? Both I and christopher_best have searched for those news articles on the internet but found nothing, again.
Christopher_best did exactly that, and he found absolutely NOTHING on either of those quotes. You're the one using them, it's your job to tell us how to reach them, not ours.
How do these types oppose my spectrum? Fascist Conservative and Totalitarian Communist are actually very similar in policies, even though their ideology is different.
I think that the Left vs. Right spectrum is absolutely terrible. A better spectrum might be the Social and Economic Freedoms one. Countries like Saudi Arabia have very little social freedom, and not a lot of economic freedom, so they are totalitarian. Socialist countries advocate for a lot of social freedom but very little economic freedom, so they are left-wing. Countries with a lot of economic and social freedoms are libertarian. This is a far better version than simply Left vs. Right.
I should have phrased my comment differently. It's certainly true that there are proven generalities about races (i.e. Asians have a higher IQ score, black people are more likely to commit crimes, etc). However, what matters is why you believe those generalities exist. They exist because of culture and upbringing, not because one race is smarter than the other or is more criminal than the other.
If you believe that these generalities exist solely because different races have different genetics, then I think you are a racist. That's the definition of the term. Now, whether racism is bad can be discussed elsewhere, (even though I believe racism is very bad). However, you should still admit that if you believe different generalities exist solely because of race and not culture or upbringing, you are a racist.
You do understand that you knowingly lied about Black Panther Party being labeled as domestic terrorists, and about the warnings of Amnesty International and the Department of State?
Wouldn't you also agree that racism is the belief that certain races have different characteristics (i.e. "Asians are smarter", "blacks commit more crime", etc)?
You haven't explained it at all, you just call the statistics "fake" and accuse white people of crimes. When someone dismisses all statistics that disprove their narrative as "fake", it seems that they have a problem with accepting the facts...

So why would you do the same for me, just because I am white?
Dude, you still haven't answered why it's logical for whites to commit more crimes but illogical for blacks to commit more crimes? Really?

Cool new username. I didn't know you could change it.
Yup. My bad.
Why did you write poems in the first place?

Omar's poems make less and less sense
And the nonsense in them is immense
He should return back to prose
His poems are something I oppose
Omar stopped writing in prose.
What happened to him, no one knows .
But we know all his comments rhyme...
Maybe this is some spiritual sign?
What are the "Laws of Morality"?
True. This debate is terrible.
I think that in this debate, the burden of proof should be shared and not only on Con, since you're making a claim as well.

That's fine. I guessed you would not say since you did not write anything about nationality in your profile.
Yes, we could do that. Let's keep this debate and in your opening round you can write that we agreed to change ESP to magic.
Thank you for voting!
Oh, you were angry that we forfeited some rounds. I thought you were angry because you were from Saudi Arabia. lol.
Now that we are discussing this, can I ask you where you are actually from?
Sorry I did not mention your arguments, but you that would have taken me so much time. You win just on grammar, since Pro's formatting is absolutely terrible.
You're Saudi Arabian? If you are, I didn't mean to offend anybody. I was talking about the government and not the people.
What is your definition of "magic"? Because ESP and magic are a bit different.
It's all good. And can I ask, why did you want to use the NABRE? I compared its verses to the KJV and they are pretty similar.
"The British have a dollar which is quite a bit stronger than the French dollar,"
Perhaps you mean the Pound and the Euro? France and Britain do not use dollars.
Per my opponent's request, we will be using NABRE version of the Bible in this debate.
In order to win, you have to prove that symmetrical objects have to have been measured by an intelligent being. You have never done so, in all of your time on DebateArt.

RationalMadman believes in this stuff? For someone who claims to be rational, he sure believes in a bunch of nonsense!

Why does crossed skip twenty lines between each sentence? It makes his arguments unbearable to read.
It's not 383, it's 389. You can't even get your numbers straight.
My source was right in the comments, and by using simple mathematics we can determine that Earth's distance from the Sun is 389 times larger than the Earth's distance from the Moon.
I know what arm span is, and it is irrelevant to the claim that God created everything.
"the sun is 400 times bigger then the moon and about 400 times farther away."
Seriously? I just disproved this, why are you repeating it again?
Look, would you rather listen to some site or an actual calculation using verified sources? 'Approximately 27' and 'Exactly 27.3' are two very different numbers. Like I said in my vote, all of those coincidences are a result of estimation. For example, before we talked about the number 400, and the number 389 turned out to be right.

Would you like to have a debate on this topic? About whether life was created by God or not.
Distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,600,000 kilometers [1].
Distance from the Earth to the Moon is is 384,400 kilometers [2].
149.6 million divided by 384,400 equals 389. It's called mathematics, which you are apparently unable to do. Maybe next time try to perform the calculations yourself instead of just citing random sources? Calling my calculations "bad math" is not an argument.

Done! Thank you for your suggestion.
Regardless, the human body still has many flaws. For example, molars are useless and they usually need to be removed. Why would God give us molars?
Also, if appendicitis is caused by an unhealhty diet, why would God make us want to eat food that is unhealthy?
The human body also has many design flaws. For example, our appendix is useless but 7% of all adults get appendicitis. Why would God give us such a pointless and harmful organ?

If it's everywhere online, then why did you not provide a link?
How do they defy my paradigm?
I don't understand what you mean by "Totalitarian Communist and Right-Wing Libertarian both oppose you." In what sense do they oppose me?
