"Would you say you are a lover of faith?"

"All introduction aside," The crowd lets out a chuckle or two," I say I have no choice but to only agree that having faith is inevitable."

"Ah, this concludes the first dodged question, I'm glad i was not the one to do so... Could you please answer the question with a simple yes or a no...um..."

"Introductions are very important indeed, are they not? I am Doctor One. And I can answer the question with a factual yes as according to my person that has been molded by my experiences and my reaction to them. I believe the complexity of faith is to be formed in a more intellectually processed question. Would you care to try again?"

The debaters smirk at one another as the crowd listens on in silence.

"I stand not corrected, but simply in agreement with you, I am glad to have found out that we are on the same page on the topic of faith-"

"The fact that it takes faith on either end whether you believe or do not-"

"Which bring us to the actual argument at hand, does it not, Dr.?" The debater lifted their glasses at the opponent.

The opponent does not answer, but taps once on their podium like a drum.

The debater with glasses turns back to the crowd. "It appears the first interruption of this evening has been recorded as well. I am simply more glad now that it was not I once more-"

"We are here to debate another topic, I  believe it is not the issue of moral standards." The Doctor taps their watch with a wink, "what is your more improvised and dare I say more intellectual question to start us off?"

"Yes... I was only searching out very briefly the character of the 'molded' person before me." The debater shifts their glasses as the crowd chuckles, "My question, is this... How did the knowledge of God enter your mind? Was it introduced to you perhaps as rudely as you allow yourself to be even here on stage before all? For the student is only as good as their master. And with this said, dare I say, that just from knowing the book you are reading, this ...Bible; I am aware of exactly how your mind works, maybe not the exact words and pronunciations you will put together, but the possibilities of put together phrases to form your answer."

The Doctor raises their hands to give a slow and nearly inaudible clap. "Very well done. From the readings of my watch, it has taken you all of three whole minutes to form a question based off your opinions! Good job... uh..."

"Just Glasses Man is fine," the debater shifts their glasses as he chuckles, " and indeed, not every man, woman or child continues to grow old with a compulsive behavior. And with this fact out there, I am surprised you have not yet answered my question!"

Glasses Man now lifts a hand to slap it twice against the top of the podium in a clapping manner, making the Doctor laugh out loud.

"It is only that I agree with you on compulsiveness and have bought myself time to provide an actual answer and not waste time with an unintelligent one as we have already gone over, such things only stall us by three whole minutes."

The crowd laughs as the Doctor continues, "And to answer such a question would require a form of vulnerability on my part, so i thank you for your courage to allow me to take the lead on this manner of strength.
