Great ! If you need a primer on HOW to kick-start the Debate since you will be representing the affirmative position that sexual-Cohabitation has benefits and poses no problems , then may I suggest you open with WHY sexual-Cohabitation is a neutral, permissible, healthy, optional lifestyle choice (?) .
Also, you advertise yourself as an Atheist but say you are not a Humanist ; Ive not met one professed Atheist who wasn't a Humanist in their beliefs and lifestyle . If you ascribe to the current American Culture and its philosophies, then you are in fact a Humanist which also conforms with the formal Humanist Manifestos 1 and 2 . If you still beg to differ, then Id be interested in hearing otherwise but lets not derail this thread too much and get about the start of the formal Debate just between the two of us. Thanks for being willing to debate and unpack the common lifestyle of sexual-cohabitation in America and around the World today. Dave.
