Well, I'm an open minded, free thinking, PEARList. I have no belief in any type of God or higher power. I'm a Republican(?) usually people don't understand why, but I'm not going to go into that now. I've got alot of topics I'd like to discuss.

Post #1I've been looking for a reasonable debate forum for awhile. I haven't looked very hard until today, and I found this forum. Looks very well put together. I'm gonna try it out

Post #2Welcome to the forum. This is a good place; very well run, very well and fairly moderated (and I thought that even before I was a moderator). Our #1 expectation is CIVIL and RESPECTFUL debate, and that's what makes the whole thing work.Tymygy wrote:I've been looking for a reasonable debate forum for awhile.

I was once a Democrat, and I was once a Republican. Now I don't identify with ANY political persuasion, not even "independent," and I've found that even THAT can tick people off. I voted for McGovern, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, George W, AND Obama, so go figure. I'm mostly here to debate religion, anyway.
No idea what a "PEARList" is, but I'm sure you'll tell us. Janis Joplin fan, maybe?

Actually, A PEARList stands for Physical Evidence And Reasoned Logic.

Otseng (Site owner and Administrator, Christian, and accomplished debater) has chosen a well-balanced and very even-handed moderating team. No point of view is favored. The playing field is very level, so arguments stand or fall on their own merits.
In the most active sub-forum, Christianity and Apologetics, the bible is NOT considered any more authoritative than any other book (though in other sub-forums such as Holy Huddle and Theology, Doctrine and Dogma the bible is considered authoritative).

Republican non-believers are somewhat uncommon, so I'm looking forward to seeing your points of view in the Politics and Religion subforum, if you're interested in such debates.
I agree with cnorman that this forum is very well run and moderated (and I also thought so before I became a mod myself). So, I hope you like it here, and welcome!
