    Two reasons:

    I'm predestined to debate.
    And

    I like this answer the best. I teach my members to know what they believe and why they believe what they believe. Debate here prepares me for them.

    2) I debate…To take up for my God when others say bad things about Him.

    7) I debate…To understand more about the 2 sides.

    8) I debate…To honor God.

    9) I debate…to know my God.

    13) I debate…To teach others.

    14) I debate... To learn.

    I don't know if I necessarily "debate" much. I just throw my ideas (often jokes) around and see if anything sticks.

    I have debated other issues: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

    ;)

    Likewise, J.D.

    But, nonetheless, isn't the comic relief we have here refreshing? :thumbsup:

    Especially in light of some of the vitrol we've seen over the C/A and KJV threads! :tear:

    Jesus debated. It not so much that you debate, but how you do it.

    I would go with 7 and 14, although I mostly read the debates or ask questions. Although sometimes I have to jump in.I generally don't do that unless someone is being espescially intollerant.
