DEBATE; Ecstremevenom vs. Scotty.

I'm a hard @ss when it comes to being critical of other people's posts, I like to think that as a judge I would be more a Paedrus' knife, than a descriptive spatula. My background is a private classical educationan HND in zoology, currently doing a degree in philosophy, weak atheist and I hold a physicalist view of the world. Strangely enough I am also a c ...[text shortened]... will make me a useful addition to the judges panel, thus it is that I volunteer my services.

I am the walrus; cu-cu-cuckchew.

oh, that was kinda the topic i wanted to debate lol

Then presumably you want to debate me, as a person, on my personal disbelief in god? If so, that is fine, provided it is made clear that I am debating as an individual, on my right, and my decision to be an atheist.

I volunteered to judge earlier; why isn't my post there?

Sounds good.

I suggest for judges, Royalchicken, Umbridge, DocS, Kelly and Hal? If any of these are unwilling, Starrman also wishes to be a judge. (Sorry starrman, I want to try and keep the atheist / theist balance about 50:50).

Now for a topic?! Perhaps our judges could facilitate that?

I suggest we use the methods we use at my house to pick a movie
to watch. One suggest 3 or 4 they want to watch another selects from
those choices. If none are selected, the one who said they were not
good enough picks 3 or 4 until a choice is agreed upon, this normally
causes everyone to find some happy ground with their picks. After all
it is you two who are debating so what would you prefer to debate?

No probs, I'll stay on standby.

How about having one agnostic on the panel?

Edit: or a gnostic?

When I last checked, No1 was an agnostic. I believe he's started leaning towards Taoism.

Maybe we can get one to stick their heads out of the ground. 😀

Has DocS ever actually made any actual claims about the existence of god; ie, is he the neutral one?

Hot

EDIT: Where's the debate here?

Not sure, perhaps the good doctor can give us his thoughts, although I would trust all judges to try their best to be impartial.
