Born2Preach, I will pretend to be an atheist and you can debate me. I will use all of the arguments that I have heard and you try and defend Christianity and/or present to me the counter evidence. Sort of a verbal wrestling match. You start.

You mean to say that you could not pretend to be a believer in God and absolute truth? You surely know the arguments.
If atheism is not a choice, is it then a given...for lack of proof?

I am going to open a new topic on this issue. Born2Preach, we can have our discussion there, unless you want to start it here. Basically, again, the idea of this debate is for anyone participating to take the opposite or different position than what they actually believe. Crashfrog has already opted out by claiming to be unable to act. Actors take on characters that they are not like. I am asking participants to take on the beliefs that they usually defend their beliefs against. For example, Mike the Wiz, Buzsaw, Myself(Phatboy) Chris and Prophex, Willowtree, and Jar will become atheists.
Gilgamesh, Lam, Nosy Ned,Sidelined,and Schraff will become Monotheists. It would be easiest to be Christian Theists, so i will suggest that. All of us can take this light, yet we must use the counter arguments to which we have been accustomed. Does anyone else want to participate? Should we start a new thread?This message has been edited by Phatboy, 10-26-2004 02:43 AM

The whole point is for you to take on a debate using the philosophy used by Theists. It is not supposed to be "comfortable" and I can see why you are backing off..how in the world could you "comfortably" assume anything? That smacks of you having your own human wisdom as your god.
