Originally posted by deathbypawnIf we need to quarantine religious posts, I think it would only be fair
maybe we could have a compleatly separte forum for religious debates. only religious topics would be discussed in there thus clearing other forums of the religion not that religion is bad, it will also give religion a new home.
to also cordon off a section of our forum space to devote to those
posts and threads concerned solely with the giving and receiving of
cookies.

nothing particular about RBHILL-style posts that warrant
singling them out as a special case. If we are going to
single those out, then we must single many others out.
But I hardly think any of this is necessary. The forum
categories are broadly defined and should be able to
accommodate all sorts of sub-topics, not to mention that
religious discussion is one of the very topics that the
debate forum advertises.
So it seems to me that one would move to ban the
giving and receiving of cookies, which is not part of the
forum description, before banning religious discussion,
which is.

certainly yes...I suggested a separate forum with a little sarcasm. I only wish that everybody would be able to debate intelligently, using evidence to suport their argument rather than using slander and empty rhetoric to get points across. puting others down accomplishes nothing...save for insightment.

One rec for you buddy. There is some sense in you after all .... 😉
I am a skeptic who enjoys the give and take of theological debate. I have had informal verbal debates with several believers over the years, and they have never persuaded me that I was wrong, nor have I persuaded them that they were wrong. So to the degree that most adults seem to have crystallized their thoughts on theology, it can be said that such debates are pretty much futile. But should they be banned from the site? Nah. I don't even mind it if one's purpose for posting is to proselytize rather than to engage in debate.
Originally posted by PhlabibitHi Phlabibit. I have found the same thing you have, but from the other side. I find that when I make a religious point, then people who disagree are equally uninterested to listen to my point.
[Seems to me anyone who wants to talk about religion is asking for a debate... but they don't want to hear it. They just want to talk about there beliefs with others who agree... not be debated all day.
There are a number of people that I have seen who have this "in principal" problem with any religious point. If you don't like it, ignore it or don't read it.
