Here's what you need to do to start the debate rolling:
1. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours
exists

2. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours is
the only deity there is

3. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours
created the universe and life on Earth

4. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours is
not a figment of your imagination
5. Demonstrate with objective evidence that Jesus Christ is the
miracle-working son of this deity.

Should be a simple thing to do if you have an omnipotent god behind
you.

I await your objectively supported response.

These rules are fine by me, but Harrigon has yet to state an assertion
he will support. I'm not going to debate just any old meaningless
thing that pops into his mind. Since Harrigon seems bereft of a
topic, I've listed five things the theists are failing in (to my
mind), in a separate message to him posted before I read yours. These
same items (with the recent addition of #5) have been posted by me as
a challenge to theists for some considerable time with no adequate
response.

I've also changed the header to "Budikka Accepts "Samuel Harrigon"'s
Debate Challenge" but we can agree on a header and then keep that
header throughout the actual debate. I must insist that this debate
be posted to alt.atheism, talk.atheism, alt.talk.creationism, not just
alt.atheism, because those three groups are where the overwhelming
majority of my challenges have been posted.

Since Harrigon has stated
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.atheism/msg/c6507c65f46d0df3
That it's his express purpose to "convert some people for the Lord",
and in view of the season, if the topic needs to be narrowed down
somewhat, let's see if he'll argue in the affirmative something along
the lines of "Jesus Christ, Miracle Working Son of God, was a real
person", where 'Jesus Christ' and 'God' are defined as the main
characters from the Old and New Testaments in the Holy Bible, and
'real person' means there was an actual human who was the son of a
real god, born of an actual virgin, who performed the miracles
described in the NT., who was crucified, who actually *died*, and then
who came back to life in his original physical body.

Be patient. Have you ever considered the fact that he might have a life
outside of Usenet, unlike you pop athiests? And the fact that he hasn't

Apparently not, since he issued this challenge on Xmas day demanding
that we get started right there and then. Then he followed up the
next day, but as soon as I accepted, he quit posting.

Not that *you* would grasp this, but it doesn't take a genius to
figure it out - not when this precise pattern of behavior has been
seen repeatedly from Usenet theists.

You are both of you completely missing the point. The point is not to
actually have a formal debate. We would if the theists were capable
of rising to the occasion, but not one of the Usenet theists we
regularly encounter here is capable of structuring even the limpest of
rational arguments in support of their beliefs or of supporting their
claims objectively.

No, the sole purpose of all of these challenges is to regularly
highlight how cowardly and vacuous the Usenet theists are, and every
challenge succeeds admirably in doing that since they either run from
the thread altogether, as Harrigon certainly appears to be doing here
(after all his bravado!) and as Loirbaj regularly does, or they run
from the challenge whilst remaining in the thread making feeble
excuses and side-stepping all requests that they support their
claims. Duke is the primary exponent of that cowardly technique
although Andrew is almost as good at it. Andrew is especially
proficient at derailing the initial topic of the thread and getting
all the atheists to follow him into a topic of his choice.

The fact that it is *so* easy to misdirect atheists is one of the
primary reasons we post debate challenges - to force the theists and
their fans face to face with the vacuity of their position and force
them to admit - however much they hate themselves for it and fight
against it - that when it comes down to the wire they have nothing to
offer.

If atheists are going to blindly allow themselves to be led by the
nose by theists redirecting threads to their own benefit and as long
as atheists willingly go along with the theist misdirection, we're
going to fight back with these challenges.

Why is it that so many atheists see Usenet encounters with the theists
as some sort of rational forum? It isn't. It never was. It can
never be: there's not a theist on the planet who can meet the criteria
required for a meaningful exchange because they have nothing to
offer. By definition they cannot meet the requirements because they
cannot offer science, they cannot offer objectivity, they cannot offer
intelligent rationale.

Usenet encounters with the theists are never about rational exchange.
The sole purpose here of the theists is to try to anger us and
embarrass us, and to try and put some meaning into their vacuous lives
through relentlessly attacking and trying to bully atheists! That ilk
of lowlife would have no life if it were not for us.

The truth is that we provide a valuable service for some very sick
people. There's no Xian love involved on their side. There is no
desire to witness from them. They feel no compassionate need to win
us to salvation. They have no intelligent purpose here at all, least
of all so-called Christian love.

The point of these challenges is not to get anything but guaranteed
failure out of the theists - it's solely to show that that Usenet
theists inevitably fail and fall short of the glory of their own god!
The point is to force them to expose their shortcomings for all to
see. They're coerced to consistently offer a de facto admission that
they can never supply anything of value - they can *never* offer the
very thing they claim to be able to offer. It's not about debating
but about exposing, embarrassing, shaming and degrading these frauds.

Once you get that you'll quit fretting over debating, and have some
fun in these groups.

Buddy, if you want to debate me, then do it right here or get bent. The
first topic: Is religion a force of good or evil in this world? You get to
go first.

The debate will take place at the below URL if you can ever put up any
independent objective evidence that there ever was a Jesus Christ,
miracle-working son of a god:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.atheism/browse_frm/thread/20d37c647b972f1f?scoring=d&

There's no point in chasing you around wasting my time in more than
one thread. Go to the other thread if you have anything to offer, but
from what you've posted there so far, I see nothing to even refute,
let alone debate.

Do us all a favor: before you post over there again, look up
"independent", "objective', and "evidence". 'kay?

So you admit you fled my my challenge that you support Jesus? That's
thrice you've denied him, counting the two time sin the other thread
where you are still running from my request that you post independent
objective evidence that there was a Jesus Christ, miracle-working son
Admit it, you're just another limp Peter at the passion.

And to answer your weasel-piss question - religion has *already* been
shown to be a force for evil.

The Judaists showed it in the Bible itself, as recounted in scores of
stories about the ancient Hebrews *slaughtering* people over land in
the name of Judaism.

It was shown in the Middle East as the Arabs did the same thing in the
name of Islam, and are repeating in the modern age with terrorism.

It was shown throughout Christianity in the endless crusades, witch-
hunts, inquisitions, pogroms, and heretic burnings.

It's apparent in Iraq right this minute as religious factions fight
and war against each other.

Religion has introduced, at it's very core, the concept of the chosen
and the doomed. How can it *not* be a force for evil?

It continues in the US as fundamentalists try to force the lie of
young-Earth creation on children in school, and try to suppress
freedoms and individuality in their mindless drive to turn everyone in
obedient sheep.

That answer your question, numbnuts?

No evidence is good enough for you. If I had a video of Jesus turning water
into wine or walking on water, you would not accept it. So I'm through
arguing with you pop athiests. Jesus Christ could appear in your bedroom
and punch you in the face and you would still deny him.

Since Jesus is supposed to have lived a couple of thousand years ago,
you know that the video you would be offering would be fraudulent.

You keep offering these hypotheticals because we all know that you have
absolutely no reals. Keep making your excuses old fraud, keep making
'em.

I can see why you ran away.

Not just excuses, but personal lies.

He's a Christian doing what Christians do when they have painted
themselves into a corner.

Too bad they leave footprints.

Alright Buddika. Let's get this show on the road. Now obviously go
have quite a lot of opinions that are no doubt dependent on science.
Depending on your thought process that could be a good thing or a bad
thing. For your question number one, I can tell you that my god exists
based on mine and several other experiences. No countless other
experiences. Everyone in my church has prayed through And has been
saved. This is something that not just everyone can say. From personal
experience, when I was saved, I felt the most pleasant feeling, like I
was being washed over with something beautiful and meant just for me.
This was the holy ghost. I spoke in tongues and I felt the sensation
of peace with the world, a natural high that only god could offer, it
like the Bible and my pastor described.
As for question 2, I can show you there is one god based on the bible.
That is evidence based on what I have studied for years and what I
have found and felt throughout my years both in seminary and simply as
a devout follower of Christ. The bible says there is one lord, one
faith, and one baptism. That's all I need to know. The bible hasn't
let me down before.
Thirdly, i can answer that with a short sentence: 'Genesis 1:1: in the
beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.' that's that. Not to
mention the scientific evidence that has been found. There is
undeniable proof the this world wasn't formed by some miraculous big
bang. You cannot tell me with a straight face that some crash happened
and boom there was earth. There had to be an intelligent design. That
would be the lord thy god.
Fourth: I know the lord is not a figment of my imagination. He has
touched me in ways I cannot even begin to describe. He blessed me with
the holy ghost, called me into the ministry, and has given me a church
filled with the best people if I've ever met. I've felt his presence,
and I have spoken in heavenly languages. I have had dreams where god
has spoken to me and everything that happened I the dreams eventually
came true. I wont bore you with the details but trust me. It's true.
Whenever I needed a helping hand, Jesus was there to help me.
Jesus is the miracle working son of a god because there is evidence
and documents dating back to his life tha have been found all over the
world. Not just in the bible but in scripts all across the globe
hidden in caves and such. You can look it up anytime you want. There
are other gospels and several people that have been interviewed. These
people are known authorities on all things religion. Not just theists
but even scientists have confirmed the existence of Jesus. Also, these
other documents contain eyewitness accounts of his miracles. You can
look them up.

Thank you for your time buddika. I await your response. Have a blessed
day.

And what if I use DC Comic book's and several movies I've seen to
prove the existance of Superman?..
(which is exactly like what you're doing)
Kryptonite must exist because known authorities have placed Krypton on
the Periodic Chart of the Elements

You're ENTIRE argument can be summed up in this one statement as
Compulsive Delusionary Behaviour:
A very strong case can be made that many of the steadfastly-
religiously-convinced are actually mentally ill. The pleasant
escape from reality that they so often indulge in is no
more than the escape psychotics experience when they seek
refuge from reality in a delusional dreamworld of imaginary
beliefs.

But these experiences are all subjective, are they not?

And you were asked for objective evidence.

But that is documentary evidence, is it not?

And you were asked for objective evidence.

Again, what you are presenting is documentary evidence, is it not?

You were asked for objective evidence.

Again you are presenting subjective and documentary evidence, are you

Once again someone has been asked for objective evidence.

And once again objective evidence has not been presented.

Perhaps you should reread the biblical account about Thomas Didymus.
