[Antoninus]

In any debate, if you can argue the latter, the former is just a bonus. If you cannot argue the latter, the former is not likely to stand to scrutiny either.

Look, is it so hard for you to express your belief publicly without so much tap-dancing? Here, look how easy it is:

I believe that the human being is made up of body and soul, both created by Almighty God.

I don't like debating with people who refuse to put their core beliefs out on the table.

I don't like debating with people who refuse to put their core beliefs out on the table.

I don't like debating with someone who has to tailor their argument to a POV or make the other party part of the argument. Logic is on your side or it isn't. Argue in the alternative if you like, as long as they don't contradict each other. It will immediately become clear if the disagreement is a matter of logic or assumptions. If you disagree with something I said, then disagree with it. Don't keep asking me to give you something else to disagree with.
