    If you really want something more enlightened then why not get two of each on either side. I have met plenty of fair-minded atheists (although admittedly they are scarce on these boards) who can see much that is positive in religious culture and heritage, and there should be no difficulty finding a couple of Christian secularists.

    Okay, I'll run it up the flag-pole. Thanks for the suggestion; helpful feedback is appreciated. Wish me luck!

    We could pit a Christian secularist versus a Christian who believes that Church and State shouldn't be separated to make it a bit different to the usual atheist/theist squabble.

    Ahh! Please, can you all stop following what I'm sure is an intrinsic instinct (is the word 'intrinsic' a derivative of 'instinct'? Actually, answer this question!) at this point? I read as fare as post #24, (Soul Winner's post), which Wicknight gave a fairly substantive reply to, and I'm now about ready to despair. I'm a man of real simple pleasures; I just want to get a debate together, and none of this is helping!
    Just answe this question for me: if the motion were to be the one I already suggested (The decline of religion in the western world is to be lamented), could I get people to propose this motion?

    Please?! No ulterior motives here, honest!

    If I think of anything interesting I'll post it.
