A Moral Debate
Can you have a moral debate without inflicting religion? Of course you can! I have them all the time! My friend Paul is an extremely religious person and I having no faith are able to argue and debate over moral issues without inflicting religion. We both agree that religion harms the strength of a debate. To bring the class discussion into this blog, we actually would debate about abortion a lot. He is pro life and I am pro choice. We debate about the morality of it. We discuss what is life, woman's rights and how it can have effects on the people involved in the initial pregnancy. So yes, debates can happen based solely on moral arguments without inflicting religion or even science.

What kind of arguments does he use? Sometimes people with only religious objections will try to disguise there objections and make them look more secular. Or even if the individual person doesn't try to make their argument look secular, there is a good chance that they found one of those arguments somewhere and felt it applied independent of religion.
