My challenge

[Munch]

I know where I've heard this before. This is like when G-man comes on the drunken peasants and demands TJ give him a rap battle, yet every single debate he's in, he resorts to ad hominem, ad populum and ad nauseum in every debate and claims he beat anyone he debates with.

Well, lets hope our own g-man here can provide more 'logical' material.

It must be nice to be able instantly dismiss a side because they can't back up your specific credentials. Shame I can't be that close-minded.

You're as closed minded to the scientific method as I am to bullshit. Must be nice to think you're better than others because your imaginary friend says you are.

[Sargon The Grape]

I'm game.

You can't even start a debate topic correctly, and you haven't even had to do any work.  Not a good way to get out of the gate.

[Mr.Obvious]

I nominate Mr.O - he's got the patience for it. But I wouldn't expect anybody to do it, not knowing in advance the topic.

You make me blush, Solomon 
It's not that I would mind debating OP. But the reason you and trsdf state are exactly the ones that kind of hold me back. The topic of an official debate should be clear in advance. Again, I wouldn't mind even like entering a debate with OP, but if Hijiri or Brian would rather have a go, they can have my vote. After all, that's just good entertainment.

[Green Bottle]

I also nominate MR O or Hijiri, if any of them can be bothered.......

Funny how you seem to know all already, hmm? Despite being an atheist, you seem to possess psychic abilities!
Then again of course[/] an atheist is never, ever wrong about anything, so why debate at all with the foolish Christian. Interesting how for someone who claims the other side is narrow-minded, you seem to have literally formulated what will happen in any argument with an opponent before such a thing occurs.

We don't personally know you no. But you are a fool if you think we have not been down this road for others.

How about the quick and simple? How about humans make up gods because they are egotistical and afraid of their own finite existence?

If you have argued it, so have others, so have other people with other god claims. I have been at this for 14 years. I have dealt with Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and even a Rastafarian. It all amounts to the same thing, gap filling arguments from ignorance.

Now you stupidly call that closed minded. No, "closed minded" would be clinging to claims of Thor now that we know what really causes lightening. It was understandable that people made up gods in the past. Science knows better now and some simply don't want to  grow up.

this should be good

It's all in the topic. If the topic were Biblical infallibility or divine intervention, I would jump, but if it's epiphenominalism vs. dualism, count me out. Not my field of interest.

Exactly. This dumbass seems to think that we are all equally versed on everything.

"logical" one IF you want to debate someone, then state what you want to debate. THEN, if someone is interested in debating that subject they will agree. This crap about finding a person to debate first looks like nothing more than an attempt to stack the deck in your favor. It appears to be an attempt to find someone who does not know as much as you think you do about a certain subject and debate them on that subject. It smells of bullshit and I don't think that you would find too many people willing to step in it.

Argggggg, how much of a comic book do you have to read before you realize it is a comic book? If you are an expert in Harry Potter what exactly are you an "expert in", and how long would it take for a non Harry Potter fan to debate you to realize you are selling fiction?

Before you get to word one of that comic book, the naked assertion is that an invisible magic man with a wand "poofed" this all into existence. How is the Christian "poof theory" any better than any other "my god did it" "poof theory".

It still amounts to Spiderman vs Batman.

And Batman would totally win vs Spiderman.

I never said the OP's idea would work, as he is most likely going to spew the same bullshit that every other warrior for god that has come here has eventually. I simply called out them on the attempt to try to stack the deck in their favor.

I doubt it.

[stromboli]

I doubt it.

Same here. More like lame and pointless with lots of long pauses.
