Why I Hate Debate So Much.

[The Matt]

Debate just shows one thing. Insecurity. You're not comfortable enough in what you believe that you can believe it alone. In order to make it better and more believable in your eyes, you need someone to agree with you. And while you're trying to get someone to agree with you, sometimes you get caught in the "Oh, I may be wrong now, but I have to save face, so better push forward and find a way to make myself right in this situation" trap. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure I believe in anything comfortably enough that I want to debate it. I can say one scripture out of the bible that I am so completely sure about that I could talk about it all day and not be swayed. But really and truly, when you take a scripture, and argue about it, when it comes to the bare boneded root, nobody can really say "I know for sure this is what God meant when He inspired a man to write this." Because none of us are Jesus Christ. We can be Christlike, we can have the mind of Christ, but we can't literally step into his shoes and say, "I am Jesus, and this is what I meant". And when we assume we actually are in this position, well, then we are making ourselves a false god. Anyways, I was just thinking on this for a few hours at work last night and these are a few final thoughts on the matter I came up with. Whether or not my thoughts make sense to you, well...that's debatable.
