I always win
If I'm right, I win.
If I'm wrong, and I know that because you taught me something, then I also win.
I only really loose when I put in the time/effort and then you don't reply.
Ya know, that may be where trolling stems from. Like, I'd rather you do reply. And I'd also like to hear your opinion on the matters. So, eliciting a reply is in my interest. Perhaps a little trolling help spur the conversation along

So why debate? Why not just simply talk, discuss? Learn?
I like to argue.
Regardless of whichever position you actually took, you learned to take whatever position you were assigned and then to take that position in your arguments.
I wish people realized that this was still a thing...
Too often people think that arguing for or against something means that you are emotionally invested in the position.

Me, I enjoy the fray, the battle, especially when I know I am on the winning side.
It'd be nice if you actually entered the ring instead of shouting from the stands about how much ass you're kicking.
That means actually replying the substance of people's posts rather than just being a silly repetitive blow hard.
You don't win by declaring victory. You win by learning.
What is the last thing you learned here?
I mean, how can design lose to no design. How can intelligence get defeated by no intelligence.
Well, some things are spontaneous, like catalysis; so that there's one way.
Fighting evolution and atheism is truly easy, and hardly gets the neurons a thinking and connecting,
Your previous behavior here shows that your neurons are hardly "thinking and connecting"...
because atheists and evolutionists are not thinkers, they have no experiences and no science to back them up.
You're projecting.
How sad, but their minds get clogged by their religions.
Maybe you should just worry about yourself?
