This is not a website about Christianity it’s about proving there is a higher power in control. You are more like a hitler blocking freedom of speech! You will soon see you are wrong in all you theories!!!

Not this time. But possibly in future.

To the serious question:

Will we discuss debating things other than religion?

Some.

And the more so, the more you ask. For example, if you want to tap my advice for improving at debating any specific subject, you can use the course to ask any and all questions about that, and Jeff and I will give you our full attention in answering with all our experience.

As to the less serious question:

If you have to debate your wife for an open marriage, you’ve already lost the argument.

I hope I don’t have to say, but our course is about academic debate, not relationship skills.

I have seen several videos of your debates and you have v always done an excellent job. The price seems quite reasonable too.

I have a question though, if I sign up the course, will you teach techniques for debate topics other than religion? I admire your recent, courageous decision to come out as polyamorous, and I think that is an aspect of my life I would like to explore. The problem is, I have been unable to persuade my wife to let me have an open marriage. Since this is a debate that you have won before, can you give me some tips on wrnning this argument? That alone would be worth the cost. Hope to talk to you soon in the first Q&A!
