EDIT: RESTARTING TOPIC DUE TO SPAM, PLEASE CLOSE THIS

An intelligent debate.

Topic: A supreme being (for example, "God", "Allah", "Yahweh", etc.) exists.

I will argue affirming the topic.

There will be 3 "speeches" total.

The first two speeches may contain up to 350 words, while the last may contain up to 250 words.

There will be two questioning periods in which 3 questions may be asked each (1 post at a time, taking turns asking/responding).

The negating side will speak first.

After the round is over, I'll make a new thread where people can discuss/vote.

First one to post (unless you're a complete dumbass) may debate.

Don't take extremely long to do something. You don't need 15-20 minutes to write 350 words or less. I want to finish pretty soon.

Don't fake sources, you must provide them if its felt that you are using something questionable.

Post up, if you have any questions feel free to ask them too.

People who aren't debating, don't post or it will just be deleted.

Can we seriously not do the religious debate thing? People believe what they believe out of faith. If you don't believe it, that's fine. But everyone has their own separate opinions and we're all entitled to them.

Threads like these start serious fights and tons of people get flamed.
 
@Batata - Those are examples of supreme beings, and no they are not the same thing.The belief set behind those two supreme beings are two very different things in essence. Just because the religions worship one being, doesn't mean its Supreme Being and another religion's Supreme Being are the same.

Don't spam my topic either please.

@Marisa - Conversation and debate are ways of enlightenment and true understanding of your fellow human. If you have a problem, don't post. I'm educated by this and hopefully others are too. Through debating I'm able to retain better knowledge of the world and use this in an unbiased way.

DO you seriously want to argue that they are different?

God=Allah
English=Arabic

I am an Arab christian.
I say Allah.
It is the translated word.

Muslims believe in the same god aswell.

I'm definitely not talking about the translation, I'm speaking about the belief set that represents the Supreme being.

Muslims and Christians do not believe the same thing entirely.

Don't post on my topic again or I'll contact a moderator.

Stop raging while you're at it.

Stop thinking you are right. They are the same god, but have different views on that person. Islam pretty much came from Christianity and Judaism.

If two different beliefs are put forth behind something that is not proven to be physically existent, rather spiritually existent, then the belief set behind the being defines what said being is. Muslims and Christians do not have the same belief set, therefore what defines their version of a Supreme being differs.

Don't post on my topic again.

Then are you calling my god different from a Christian's god that lives in Italy or America? Than does that mean a Protestant's god is different from a Orthodox's or Catholics?
 
Once again, a belief set is what defines a supreme being as a supreme being cannot be proven to be physically existent.

The belief system behind it supreme being is different with Christianity and Islam.

So a Christian's God and a Jew's is different? Even though half of christianity is based off Judaism (first testament)
 
The Christian "God" represents Christian beliefs.

A Judaic "God" represents Judaic beliefs.

Supreme beings are not proven to be physically existent, therefore the beliefs define the being.

So yes, they are different.
