In nearly every debate, people always seem to insist on using "I believe this because of my religion" or "it's in the bible."
However, are these actual valid foundations for debate? |

^I agree. I don't think it's a good idea to use in debate because people make reference to things that haven't been proven yet, however, numerous historical accounts in the bible have been proven. It's still used in schools and studies as a historical text because of that.
I've also studied it for quite some time.

I've also studied it for quite some time. well yes, but the authenticity still doesnt make it a great source for debate, as it provides little reasoning behind its statementsm other than, obviously, christian/jewish tradition and beliefs. just becaues there are authentic portions of any text, religious or not, doesnt lend the content any weight, particularly. it is still arguing from the basis of opinion. |
