Debate requires you to be knowledgable about something. What are you knowledgeable about that you would like to debate? What is something you are read up on?

It depends on what you disagree on in the area of secularism, besides the obvious.
Lets debate about whether its OK for secular parents to teach their kids that dead people go to heaven, assuming the parents do not believe it themselves -- in other words teaching their kids something they do not believe. You take the "Yes it is OK you gentle loving parents" side. I'll take the "No it is not you irresponsible parents teaching falsehoods" side.

Well, yeah, that seems like an interesting topic of discussion. I must give a sort-of disclaimer. Politics and other societal affairs are not my area of expertise. If I make a fallacy, please let me down easy.
Where do you wish to debate? PM? A new thread?
They are not my area of expertise either.
Your choice, or we can do it here.

I'd much rather a new thread, make it look all businessy-like.
Would you like to make the opening statement?

As an atheist I did not force my children to attend Sunday School or church. I allowed them to be taught religious instruction at school so that they could make up their own minds,
Today my son is an atheist and my daughter a christian.

I did not agree to the terms in concrete ways.

Oh dear! Sorry I invaded your space. Terms indeed.
You ever watch that Paul Newman movie where he told the big guy who wanted to fight him: "First we gotta make the rules."
Rule number one was a kick in the crotch!!

Why the hell did you sense hostility in this? I stated that I did not agree to the terms purely because I felt it was good for people to shove a religion down one's throat. I had another reason for accepting the terms. Jesus Christ, say one thing and everyone loses their minds.

Oooooh we are touchy! The kick in the nuts thing was simply a euphemism. I wanted to debate with you... but agreeing to terms? I don't wanna have a duel with you friend ... so what do we need terms for?
You say X and I say Y ... what else do we need?

Guy Threepwood is a creationist if I recall.
