    Clearly had a small unit. Wants nothing more than to fight and argue. Who’s listening to this garbage?

  • Please stop having Nadir Ahmed on the show

    Nadir Ahmed it’s probably one of the worst debaters I’ve seen on this show. He is a double standard, lunatic, who seriously can’t debate😂

    Love it. Less flat earth. More atheist v. Christian please. 🙏

    Update: If A. Wilson is a “Christian”, then no wonder people can’t stand them. A.W. sounds about as wicked as his OT “god”.

  • Needs a name change BIASED

    The name of the podcast should be changed. These are NOT debates and it comes down to the moderators. They are horrible at maintaining the speakers or keeping them on topic, especially the religious affirmative.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DEBATE: Is the Hadith Essential to Quran? Sunni Vs Quran-Only
Q: Is the Quran sufficient on its own or is Hadith essential for following Islam?
The speakers debate whether the Quran alone suffices or if Hadith provides essential guidance, with one side arguing that the Quran alone is insufficient and the Hadith offers necessary clarity and miracles; the other side contends the Quran contains complete guidance and Hadith is not required.
DEBATE | Flat Vs Globe Earth | @qiqopip Vs Darryl E Berry
Q: Are you going to concede the rest of the time there, and we'll start the open dialogue?
The opening statements have concluded and the open dialogue begins, with each side given time to respond and question.
DEBATE: Flat Vs Globe | Iron Horse Vs Daniel Turner
Q: How did Einstein use data from Michelson-Morley to develop relativity, if at all?
The guest explains that the null result of Michelson-Morley prompted Einstein to develop relativity as a framework where motion could be relative rather than absolute.
DEBATE: Flat Vs Globe | Iron Horse Vs Daniel Turner
Q: What is more plausible, hollow earth or a flat infinite plane?
Among the two, Iron Horse argues hollow earth as more plausible due to internal expansion ideas, while noting the flat-earth model lacks a single, verifiable global model.
DEBATE: Christian Nationalism on Trial | Leslie vs Rob Noerr
Q: Is Christian nationalism inherently anti-democratic if 90% of a country are Christian and vote for Christian policies?
The argument centers on whether a religious majority can legitimately shape laws without abolishing democracy; the opposing view cautions that it risks eroding foundational democratic protections and minority rights.
