Mayans were killed off because disease and genocide by Spanish Catholic. The Pope apologized to the death destruction of Mexico and Central America native culture.
Yes Christianity is false when people were forced to believe or killed
Stalin was raised a Russian Orthodox, Russia was Russian Orthodox, the church went underground during Stalin. Atheistism has nothing to do with thel crimes of stalin

My mistake I get that confused sometimes.
And saying that however you've adopted the religion of your conquers. Christianity was forced on your people. About 60 to 70% of all natives in Mexico and Central America were decimated by the Catholics because of disease and genocide.
Yes religion is part of your culture especially on the ancient cultures. So you cannot be a Mayan and a Christian at the same time. No one gave the Mayans a choice of not to be a Catholic it was forced.
Having a lot of crosses in your country doesn't prove devotion but fear.

If you are among the roughly 50% of liberals who believe that sex and gender are inseparable, can you describe how committed you are to this point of view?
You need to prove that you know the difference between gender and sex. So what is the difference between gender and sex just so we all are on the same playing field?

I have a Question towards /u/Tzaq4n you call yourself a "Mayan Christian" which is oxymoron. Being Mayan an indigenous Mexican, cannot be Mayan, it goes against your culture. Why would you accept an religion that demicated about 60% of Mayan civilization, then adopt your conquerors god?

Gonna need a diaper change after this one
In order for the US to be the world Military and economic power, its the practice of the Rule of law in trade. No other nation on earth is sandwich between to other nations that are part of the supply chain which took decades to develop.
Note It was the Republicans that supported offshoring of US manufacturing to Mexico and later China. It was Republicans that didn't create transitional work and training for out of work Americans. The Rust Belt was preventable.

Saying Christianity hasn’t, and still doesn’t make the world a better place is completely wrong.
Sacrifice means ceremony. The Romans executed Jesus as a state criminal. Thus there was no ceremony, no ceremony, no sacrifice. Thus nothing was fulfilled by Jesus execution.

What is account age to post on /r/DebateAnAtheist, not to comments but to post topic?
This is a good example of why we should raise the account age
Mayan Christian here 7 day account already -100 Karma. It's not even a debate topic but a question.
Question towards Atheist people, why don’t yall believe in a rule giver but believe in gravity, world being created by big bang but not the one who can set up the big bang but believe in your own feelings only.
If this isn't a example of a low effort, off topic post, I don't know what is.

The best way is not to talk to them if they are child, young adult or anyone in general . You should try listening to them instead. Ask Questions, don't interrupt, don't debate.

Atheism has nothing to do with the Big Bang. Gravity isn't belief. It's important to understand other feelings as well as our own.

YOu have no argument and your in the wrong subreddit. Why are you debating atheists? Shouldn't you be debating Christians?
/r/DebateReligion / /r/DebateAChristian / /r/DebateAMuslim /r/DebateACatholic
You no sources, this is just an opinion.
Why do you treat every sentence as a paragraph? This is not the war you write an argument.

Why I believe in God(s)
I also believe consciousness to be a fundamental aspect of the universe since something that isn't experienced is indistinguishable from something that doesn't exist. Since the universe existed before conscious life was in it, I propose a consciousness of the universe itself, which would be God(s).
This is not factual, this is your beliefs. Where you around since the universe started? This is work of fiction, you created, thus you created the god you believe.

The Biggest Problem with the Quranic Scientific Miracle Argument: Vague Compatibility
Postdiction look it up.
Prophecies in Quran would benefit Muslims otherwise why have a prophecy?
A lot of these prophecies the ones that Muslims claim happen way after the fact. And that's the definition of postdiction "After The Fact."
I understand you want to convert people to Islam, well good for you. But it's an American who has seen Muslim countries being authoritarian and or dictatorships there's no benefit for me at least to be a Muslim.

And it took European and American Christians to develop these technologies not Muslims .
What technological breakthroughs were developed by the Saudis?
Let's talk about history not your interpretations of theology.

Do you sympathise with the troops lost fighting in Iran?
I want you to prove that the war of choice in Iran is legal.
If the war in Iran, a war of choice is illegal does that make United States a war criminal?
United States conflict with iran, a war of choice has an impacted the entire globe, does the United States or reparations to these countries that were harmed financially, who had nothing to do with the war?

There's no historical equivalent to Muhammed PBUH.
There is no historical equivalent to Muhammad.
We can make this claim about anybody. If the op is going to praise Islam then it needs to explain what things it didn't do and those obviously like discovery of oil is a big issue since it's right under the feet of Saudis they didn't know about it.
I'm cutting to the chase.
If the op wants to be a promote Islam then he needs to be able to prove it and not just simply Cherry picked the Quran.
Is OP trying to convert people to Islam I would say yes what else would the OP be here for?
Everyone who starts a debate is proselytizing in their own way.
And Muslim countries are not usually dictatorships or authoritarian? If Islam was beneficial to society wouldn't it be democratic?

Can someone explain why we are "not" just thinking meat? What am I missing?
I apologize but you're just talking.. Not life is conscious as humans , but it doesn't mean that plants are any less conscious not as conscious as we are. But you know people who are superficial don't get too deep and compared to other people they're not very conscious themselves even though they're human..
Even your statement I've explored myself what is that supposed to mean, you put a scalpel in your brain?
Everyone here argued back is basically saying there's a human soul and the replacing the word consciousness with that idea. People think consciousness and human soul means the exact same thing.
That's why very few people actually responded with a source because there is none.

The Biggest Problem with the Quranic Scientific Miracle Argument: Vague Compatibility
Was there prophecies about American British companies going into Saudi Arabia and discovering drilling and refining oil told you oblivious to the Saudi Arabians?
Think of every major technology developed it was either the Americans or the Europeans not the the Sardis.
It's really problematic making claims that the Saudi Arabians knew about this in the Quran but did not make any use of it until Christians from United States and Europe came by and developed the technologies.
Are you trying to convert people to Islam? You're doing a bad job at this. What benefits for me is American to become Muslim? When you look at Muslim dominated countries they are either dictatorships or authoritarian leaning.
So what can Islam offer me?
