< Answer: Please look at the following useful explanations to get the most from this site.

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST- Introduction

This website is very different from others that you have seen. We use a particular formatting throughout the website for its usefulness. So please give it some time to learn how it works. I will try to be very short in my explaining how to use this website, so please bear with me. Sometimes some things can get confusing, so please contact us if there are any confusions.

Q&A Format

All argument discussions start off with a question, like a Q&A format. For each question, we have many different types of responses, some of which we agree with and some of which we don't. 

Dialog Symbols:   <    and   >>

We temporary use these symbols to mean something, but for simplicity's sake,   <    means our response (where some Christians agree), and     >>      means our opponent's response (typically atheistic or where no Christians would agree). We use these symbols to show dialog, and to help organize our arguments for ease of view-ability. It's easier to see the structure of arguments this way than to read a boring formal paper/article presenting arguments and counter arguments in an unstructured format. 

Argument Strengths Indicator (examples: STRONG, OK, WEAK)

We write these next to the title for many reasons:

1) to help you spot strong arguments when that's all you care about. 
2) to list other arguments out there for the sake of thoroughness, despite us thinking they are weak (so that you don't think we left any argument out of consideration).

If you have a problem with a good argument being labeled weak, please let us know. Also, people can look at weak arguments and help us improve them by contacting us. 

Hierarchy/Tree View

I love this feature, but few understand it. This helps structure the arguments. Every indention you see means a response to a previous argument. Generally, all discussions on each question follow this hierarchy structure:

Who is God?

    < God is the Creator of the universe.

         >> But the Bible said that Jesus created the universe!

              < True, but God is Jesus... so God being Jesus created the universe... no contradiction. 

    < God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

          >> I thought God was our God too? 

               < If your God is the one that created the universe, that's the same God Abraham and others worshiped.  So it's your God too! 

I think it's best that you try to figure out what's happening rather than me trying to explain it and making you sleepy.

Argument Types

Finally, argument types. Examples: (BIBLICAL) and (STATISTICAL). This is useful for people who just want to read certain types of arguments. For example, if all I care about is a biblical argument to a partciular question, then I look for (BIBLICAL) tags. Not all arguments have these tags... they are either merely logical arguments (meaning just using logic), or not labeled at all (because we editors have no time!) 

Conclusion 

That's it so far! Good luck and hopefully you understand... now start reading arguments! Again, if you don't understand, please don't hesitate to contact us.
