---YN's former vote---
Voted for: con
Con won. Clearly.
Here is why:

1. Framing and burden of proof Pro's core mistake never gets fixed. They repeatedly try to force atheism into making a metaphysical claim, and they demand disproof of god. Con correctly holds the line that most athiesm is a withholding of belief, not a counter assertion.


2. Pro treats "no evidence" as if all athiests are claiming omniscience. Con correctly reframes it as no sufficient public, testable, compelling evidence available. Pro insist on literal wording and ignore how reasoning work.


3. Category error from Pro's side. Con explained the distinctions multiple times. Pro explicitly states "I will not be debating words and definitions" which is essentially conceding in a philosophy debate. Definitions matter.


4. Con decisively dismantles this by distinguishing religious faith from provisional conclusion based on evidence. Pro never answers this.
In round 4 and 5, Pro effectively concede by claiming "no rebuttals" while ignoring the substantive refutations already made.
Con won in all criteria. Pro had flawed counters and arguments.
