Case: Given that an angel has come down to you individually, informing you of a swap of the requirements to go to heaven and hell, how should you live your life? Opp chose do evil.

Thanks to Jordan Roth for recording.
Most bad-ass MO of all time?
^I don’t know if this is the best, or the worst, MO I’ve ever heard.
lol, this is easily a 27+.
I actually think gov won this. Opp had no response to the observation that the commandments pre-exist Heaven, that God could have made it explicit, and that self-sacrifice is a more meaningful test than “do you want to go to Heaven?” They never responded to MG’s rebuttal of the suicide point, and Zoffer’s “cosmological justice” argument was incoherent.
If BSK, the greatest debater of all time, didn’t manage to convince you, there is no way an internet comment can, but needless to say you are dead wrong
Elaborate?
Also Chilton is the GOAT.
Two national semi final judges thought gov won so maybe “dead wrong” goes a little far you think?? This is a classic round because you can see the RFDs on both sides. Thats what a good national semis should be between two of the very best teams.
