Are non-Christians lower in moral character than Christians?

[bhsmte]

Theycallmedavid has made the claim on various threads, that non believers are of less moral character than christians.

He thought it would be a good idea to debate and I am open to the idea depending on the guidelines. I would be arguing the counter point to his claim non-believers ARE NOT of lower moral character than christians, as theycallmedavid has claimed.

Let us know next steps. Thanks

Mark, I agree to debate .

But can we change the Title on the Board Menu from ' Debate with TheyCallMeDavid' to the proper Title of the Debate which is : ' Are non-Christians lower in moral character than Christians ? ' . Thanks.

We would like this Debate to start on March 1, 2014 which will give me time to finish my current formal debate. Please use the Standard Formal Debate Guidelines but give us 5,000 max. words per posting.

David.

OK, I'm going to try and get another moderator, George, to set it up. I want to get more staff involved, and moderating here is way different than the rest of CF.

Regarding the title; sounds good to me. We'll use that as both the title and the subject.

I was of the understanding the title would be; "Are non-believers of lower moral character than christians"?

This was David's claim on various threads, that those who do not believe in God were of lower character than christians. If the title is expanded to; non-christians, we would not be addressing David's original claim and my disagreement of that claim, which was based on non-believers, not non-christians, which is an entirely different argument.

Thanks
