What about a religion forum?

[MessiahDecoy123]

Isn't that topic too big for single thread?

 

[Swordmaster]

The amount of hell (no pun intended) that goes on in there, amplified to forum size? No thanks.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Then we can debate aspects of religion and laws that affect religion not just the "is God real" debate that goes on in the religion thread.

and that thread is pretty civil. No name calling or flaming just thoughtful debate.

This.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, simply because I would avoid it just like I do any kind of religious discussion.

1) That's like turning off the containment unit from Ghostbusters. The result would be cataclysmic failure of epic proportions. Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes! Volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

2) You start taking everything out of community, then you have no community.

The God of the Old Testament is a jealous and angry God. He would be quite angry to know that Smallville gets it's own forum while He does not.

Superhero Hype, prepare to be smited.

Smote*

Old Testament.

Hell, I fear the Hype Lag over that.

 

[ChickenScratch]

I voted no, but I really don't care since I don't believe in god or gods or any of that crap. The theists can have at it though, it'll just be another area of the forum I don't go to, like the celebrities section. I guess it would clear up some of the detritus that piles up here, but as I said, I don't care it's all fairy tales to me.

Or, I could have intentionally gotten it wrong.

That's a very good comparison.

2) You start taking everything out of community, then you have no community.

Another good point.

I mean, not to be a *****e but, It'd be weird seeing a Thor forum, Iron Man, Batman, Comics, and, TV forums. Then randomly thrown into the mix a religion forum.

Like some sort of reminder to the people "Did you thank YOUR God today?".

Seriously, simply mentioning the idea would be like dropping a bomb in the middle of the city.

Why shouldn't there be a religion thread? if you don't like that thread you don't have to visit it.

The discussion is whether or not there should be a religious FORUM...not a thread.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Well... Same applies right?

 

[Gilpesh]

The idea of having a religion forum is almost as idiotic as the idea that god will punish you for not being nice to your parents.

You're just the best kid ever, aren't ya?

I wouldn't go as far to say it's 'idiotic'...I just think it would be like turning the containment unit from Ghostbusters off. (As Drak said.)

 

[Gilpesh]

I'm pretty good actually. But not because some random old book said an invisible man in the sky said so.

You man-hater.

I wouldn't go as far to say it's 'idiotic'.

That's cause you're a mod and not supposed to.
