What do you think about splitting this forum into a Religion forum and a Philosophy forum? I could go into it, but would rather see your reactions.

spirituality is basically "christianity and dasa" forum, i can't go into debates because it's mostly "american politics" forum and i won't participate into science forum because it's science, there is not much room to debate in it. (though i do enjoy it from time to time)
do continue with this, however. if there is a poll at some point, i will definitely vote yes on the philosophy forum.

you shouldn't ban dasa from the forums, it would set a precedent on banning anyone the majority or the mods don't agree with.
i have been calling again and again for people to ignore him. yet people still feel the need to feel better about themselves by explaining to a complete lunatic why he is so. like feeling better you know more arithmetic than a 2 year old.
let the philosophy forum be created. and let anything started by dasa be ignored. i would rather have this forum and have to ignore about 20 of his threads than not have it at all

Why not just have a few philosophy threads in the spirituality forum and ignore any comments from dasa (if you can help it).
You could even put [philosophy] in the thread titles.
My experience with philosophy is that when the people who know what they are talking about start posting its too deep for me and I get lost.
Also the vast majority of interesting philosophy topics are strongly related to religious issues.

I would be positive, if it was heavily moderated, and every thread going religious (spritual) moved without delay back to where it belongs, but this take time and effort from the Forum Moderators so I don't think it would be done.
Let the philosophy stay in spiritual, or debate.

pontificate their limited knowledge, the spiritually inclined get to explore unlimited
possibilities because we have not limited our search for truth to merely material causes.

The serach for truth is limited by the evidence, your search is limited to what some unknown person wrote 2000 years ago or beyond. If it conflicts with the Bible then it's dismissed out of hand without even taking a look at it.
