....is finally here!...starting with a debate at 1pm on Monday in The Great Hall/MacLaurin Hall. The topic is 'Has God failed us?' (a debate on the existence and relevance of God) and will be between Glenn Davies, the bishop of North Sydney, and Ian Ellis-Jones, a senior lecturer at the University of Technology.
And check out the website! It's really cool, I kept clicking on the title to make it flash, hehehehe...so infantile. Oh, and it has a discussion forum that opens on Monday.

Oooh, I saw Glenn Davies at Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club on Saturday night...
Well, it was a dude who looked like he could pass for a bishop; ie.: name tag read "Glenn Davies", bible in hand...
Hm... I didn't realise you could make it flash when it reloads...
hehehe...
what a complicated debate. well argued on both sides, but both unconvincing. much thought-inducing-ness.
hmmm...I thought the atheist sounded pretty convincing...anyhow, he succeeded in making me feel *dumb*...if he was trying to go for the use-as-many-big-words-as-possible-so-they-have-no-idea-what-I'm-talking-about-but-will-think-I'm-impressive strategy, I think it worked. Man, the guy talked like a journal article!
But listening to him made me feel really angry - it was like, NO THAT'S WRONG! every 5 seconds...
afterwards one of my friends commented that she felt sorry for him, because he was like, yes, my life has no meaning...and the fact that he could quote Bible verses, and knew all about Bible history and stuff, and he even knew how to use the word "propitiation"...'tis a sad, sad thing.
And in case you're wondering, to facilitate more discussion *here*, I have removed the most recent post.
And does anyone else think that picture of Ian Ellis-Jones on the website looks nothing like him?
IEJ as lcturer, that would be tough...
