For the "Fusion" debates we are going to have on this blog, I am going to lay out some basic ground rules for discussion, in order to facilitate civility, respect, and kindness:
1:) Absolutely no name-calling or ad hominem attacks (attacking or discrediting the person making the argument instead of the argument itself).
2:) We should point out any logical inconsistencies we see and any logical fallacies we see.
3:) No hasty generalizations. (discrediting or attacking an entire group based on the actions/beliefs of a few or the stereotypes we have in our minds)
4:) No chronological snobbery. (Discounting or discrediting a belief or idea simply because it has been around for a long time)
5:) We will begin each discussion by laying out and discussing the beliefs which we AGREE ON, and then we will reason on the points that we disagree on currently.
6:) All of our discussions will be done with the ultimate goal of glorifying Jesus Christ.
Re point number six, I think the goal should be to uncover the truth, whatever that may be.
