Round 1
JO
According to the contingency argument:
All things in motion were put in motion
All things that are were made
The universe is made
Soemthign must have made it
It is logical to call this a god
SO

A surprising fact is how many different religions have claimed to know the one true god, and they can't all be right. That makes me lean against the whole idea, though my opponent might have a fair point about faith. I'm not sure how to argue it beyond that gut feeling.
Round 2
JO
You have simply dodged attempting to disprove me by randomly pointing out the abundance of specific religious beliefs surrounding a god this is not a religious debate rather a metaphysical one.
Here is my original argument in more detail:
1: Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence (either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause).
2: If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God.
3: The universe exists.
4: Therefore, The universe has an explanation of its existence.
5: Therefore, the explanation of the universe’s existence is God.

Imagine two people praying sincerely to different gods and both feeling answered; only one could be right, which makes the whole claim feel shaky. My opponent's first-cause logic is fair, and I admit I don't know how to answer it, but my gut still says conflicting versions can't all be true.
Round 3
JO
Again you are dodging the metaphysical argument I have made to try and shift this debate to specific religious beliefs.
I ask of you again, take a metaphysical approach not a specific religious one.
I see no need for myself to make another argument as my previous has not been countered.
SO
Socratic_SamAGAINST
Imagine two people raised in different places, each taught their god is obviously real and the other is wrong. My opponent's first-cause reasoning is fair, and I honestly don't know how to answer it, but that still makes me doubt any single god claim is the obvious one.
