Why we don't debate
Debate is like doctrines of men. The Word debate only appears in the Bible 4 times...
Pro 25:9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbor [himself]; and discover not a secret to another: 10 Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. 11 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Isa 27:8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
Isa 58:4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The WORD is a two-edged SWORD...be careful that you know how to use it. Or you might get cut asunder....
Hbr 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

A man that says there is no GOD, is nothing more than a fool.
Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Proverbs 23:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Provebs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

Re: Why we don't debate
Have you ever noticed that when watching the political debates, that it is moderated, and those debating are held to a tight subject manner? Once they step outside the bounds of the question and limit of time, they are reprimanded, and the debate moves on to the next question. Often we see that even the most heated debate, can be managed in a secure manner, so that no one gets hurt. Here is my point. These debates are structured debate. When debates are not structured, they become harmful. This is why the BIBLE is clear about not debating.
