Debating society comes to a hasty conclusion

THE UCC Philosophical Society is a forum designed to facilitate democratic debate. At its most recent debate — “That we believe God is fraud” — the audience and those who participated endured an affront to democracy.

It was a riveting debate with speakers from far and wide who had earnestly waited until the close for the result of the vote.

An audience of about 50 voted and it was hard to tell which side had actually won.
