Johnny has requested a "debate" with me (as well as others):
I challenge you to a live debate. Download AIM and then PM me your name and we can debate live.
If you can think on your feet and defend Christianity and Jesus then you shouldn't have a problem debating me. If you're unable to debate me then you will make up excuses.
Debate is the one way someone can learn about other points of view and sharpen their own. If you can't defend your point of view in a live debate then you shouldn't even have that point of view in the first place. In a live chat I won't be able to google anything and it's 1vs1.
Up for it?

Hi Johnny,
Although I find your "logic" faulty regarding the following:
"If you can't defend your point of view in a live debate then you shouldn't even have that point of view in the first place"Some people are not skilled at "debate" but are still entitled to hold the opinion or point of view that they do.
I find your assumed "conclusion" quite presumptuous as well:
"If you're unable to debate me then you will make up excuses. "How could you even begin to assume this? If I didn't want to "debate" you I would just say "No thank you." Why would I make up excuses?
And this is interesting as well:
"In a live chat I won't be able to google anything and it's 1vs1. "
How do we know it's one versus one? You could have someone sitting there with you just as I could (but I won't) and no one would ever know.
Also, are all other functions (google) unavailable if we are chatting live? I don't think so. You'll still be able to google. If somehow you are unable to google on your computer that you will be chatting on, the fact remains that thousands of people have 2 computers or more in their home and sometimes they are side by side, which would allow you to google whatever you wanted. I'm not worried about you googling stuff. It's fine if you do.
That being said, even though I'm not a "debater (sp?)" I'm willing to give it a go.
Some questions for you and I would welcome input from others:
1) Should we have "rules?"
2) If so, what?
3) Should we have a mediator type person who asks us questions that would be unknown to us prior to the "debate?"
4) What about your claims to know the Hebrew language while I don't? Would you be able to say what something means in Hebrew and I am just supposed to accept it as true? I don't think that would work.
5) Should there be a certain number of times we discuss the particular question or topic and then move on to the next?
Or are you thinking of more of just a "live" conversation?
What do you others on this board think?
