A video of me debating christian extremists
Please don't make any rude comments about my voice (im trans)
Thanks <3
And yes the comments at the end are justified, when someone tells me that someone deserves to burn eternally for hating someone they deserve to be told that.

I would add more to your argument than the "anti-gay" bit and also you need to figure out a better way of debating real-time than bombarding the other person with questions before he can answer one. I get that he took up a lot of time, but you need to keep your cool. You lost a lot of ground when that happened and it's sad to say, but the theist looked like the better debater for a second. You came off really immature for a good part of that....

Now keep in mind, I am only being critical for your own betterment. If you want to do these debates, which it seems like you have a lot of potential for, you need to learn how to keep a level head and be the better, more mature and not let emotions take over your conduct. When that happens, you lose sight of the point of the argument and it derails, the person with the weaker argument can more easily move the goal-post too... because you are distracted.... and you will scatter a bit as well. All of this is a mixture for disaster in a debate, if you want it to be constructive.

That said, it was pretty decent. Work on your argument a bit more and I think you can really go somewhere with this kind of thing.

I'm ashamed to say I'm much more fascinated by the list of open Chrome tabs than anything being said in the video. Rape in Sweden, list of sedatives and Richard Dawkins. I'll have what she's having.

What about the guy in the top left acting like he's smoking a joint? He's definitely spouting off some high thoughts.

You gave good arguments, but I got really tired of hearing the theists dominate the discussion. Nick, at the very beginning of the video, talked for several minutes without letting anyone else talk. You were right to call them out on that.
