Let's be honest here....its not like the debate parameter were set very well. You titled the topic "This is why I don't like debating religion" and then proceed to criticize a fundamentalist (straw-man) argument for homosexuality and religion in general. I mean.....what did you expect?

As for the bolded, maybe reread the thread.....

I've read most of the thread, skipping past the dozen or so pages of arguing semantics and most of what DaRev has posted (after the dozenth insistence that what the bible said is right becuase the bible said it's right, I came to see his platform is wobbly at best and laughably poor for the most part), and it still isn't 'evidence'.  There are philosphpical viewpoints, the planting of doubt, and arguments over faith, b ut nothing saying "God exists, my religion is right, here's proof".  

I was referring to timmah's posts.....I think there were three or four of them looking at different teleological arguments for God's existence....all pretty well-formulated and articulated. Its fine if you don't agree with them (I don't actually accepT them), but that hardly means he didn't provide reasons for his beliefs, which is what you are claiming in your last sentence.
