maybe sex ? like who doesnt like sex...
Everything is debatable, and to challenge even the most established is needed in order to move us forward. Heck it is how science functions to begin with. Of course some things are more possible than others. Some things are rather meaningless to debate for the common man though, as they have far too limited knowledge to properly discuss it, so it makes more sense to simply regard the vast consensus of people who actually know stuff, as fact. Morality and such are purely subjective matters that should of course be discussed. Of course for a good discussion to take place, either side has to be open to changing their mindset and learn something new, and not be stuck in their current mindset/delusion. Hence why religion is often so hard to discuss.
You can just decide that reality isn't real, and just like that you have now dismissed all facts.
As for morality I very much do believe that there is a factual objective morality, which is basically the "Harm-principle".

"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
People debate facts every day, choosing not to believe in them for whatever reason. For example because you'd rather believe that a man came back from the dead...
People also don't know the difference between a theory that you or I might have, and a SCIENTIFIC theory.
What we consider to be a fact could turn out to be wrong, wasn't the earth being flat a fact at one time?
That's kind of a misrepresentation. There is a much higher standard for science nowadays than there was back when the earth being flat was a common belief. That said, they also don't call things facts nowadays unless they are as near to 100% positive about it as humanly possible.
Morality is an invention. No such thing actually exists as an inherent thing or state of being.
A fact is already indisputable. That is exactly what a fact is- indisputable. However, the actual validity of a supposed fact is what we as humans often are debating. OP question is logically faulty.
Why would I need to? To understand that you would need to understand the parable of the seed sower and the good and bad ground. But proving he does not exist is impossible when whatever facts you come up with can only deal with the physical world. But this is getting into a forbidden subject here. lol. So I will not say anymore about this here.
Problem is the people who think their opinion = fact when the statistics tell you otherwise.
Somehow those people always win the debate because the other party cant be arsed to discuss opinion vs fact.
