FollowThis category is to discuss and debate issues about Christianity, including historical evidence, theology, ethics and daily Christian life. I would be delighted to see some genuine debate here, but we can do this whilst being respectful of each others’ views!
One obvious rule springs to mind: any argument that could be used equally validly by either side of the debate probably contributes nothing and so should be avoided. I am thinking in particular of arguments that run “if you disagree with me then you either haven’t looked at the facts or are in denial”. For debate to have any meaning whatsoever we need to allow that people can review the same data and draw different conclusions!
