The First Sparring Of The Great Debate

The First Sparring Of The Great Debate – Ep.347 – The Great Debate – The 1st Rebuttal

Patrick November 17, 2025

The first sparring of The Great Debate takes place here with the Christian & atheist getting five questions to ask for the other to answer. While we aren’t used to this format, this really lays out the needed back and forth interaction that a lot of debates lack within a formal structure. It’s not the blood-sport debates we’re used to on YouTube but it helps with each side making sure the other is interacting with their points the best.
