What if we had a religious debate and neither side resorted to ad hominem attacks?

    Then we might actually learn something.

    Then we should have it on a debate site and not an answers site.

    The best debate technique is the ad hominem.  Christ used it in Mt. 12 and Mark 3, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."  It shows the foolishness of the false premise.

    On the rare occasions when I've had one, I was very happy!

    Only a f*cking moron would come up with THAT idea.

    (Just kidding.)

    I'm pretty sure debates without those attacks are actually the majority, just not here of course.

    It would be far more interesting to follow,

    than the typical religious debate.
