I'll be taking the position that Christianity is true. I'd like the most intelligent, most highly-qualified non-believer to debate me on the issue. Whoever debates me should know that I may not take orthodox positions in many cases, but I will be well-reasoned with them and supply ample support for them when offered.

This should be fun.

Is this debate going to center on the veracity of the bible?

Or did you have something else in mind?

I certainly don't consider myself the most intelligent nor qualified atheist here...but I'll give it a go if no one else bites.

I would not be hinging my position on typical post-reformation sola scriptura. And Christus, I guess you could say I've had a bit of a conversion experience... I'll call myself a Western Unorthodox Christian now lol

What do you mean by "Christianity is true"? That the bible is literally true? That Christ was the son of god? That there was a person named Jesus Christ who lived in early 1st-century Israel and started a religion? Given how broad Christianity is, I feel like the field should be narrowed somewhat.

I wouldn't be arguing that the bible is literally true, since that isn't something held by the whole of Christianity. I might argue that Jesus was/is the son of God, depending on theological implications of such a statement, given that most of Christianity does hold that to be true. A hebrew man named Yeshua is almost universally accepted to have existed by historians, so unless my opponent wishes to argue that point, I don't see it as pertinent.

I would basically be taking the position that Jesus taught the way to salvation and that He was resurrected.

How recently?


A good point ... [edit] It looks like the clarification has been made.

That seems a reasonable framing of a position.
