What about a religion forum?

[Fresh Prince]

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 have to be nice to your parents though.

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

You man-hater.

Oooh! So it's just your hatred for something that you claim you don't care about because it doesn't exist. Oh okay. But that's enough of that on here.

And I don't hate all men. Just the heterosexual ones.

My brain is fried from work so....

NO U

And I don't hate all men. Just the heterosexual ones.

But they were born that way! Let them get married!


Wait. I might have confused that with something else...

 

[Fresh Prince]

Hell, I fear the Hype Lag over that.

Old Testiment was so kickass....Like it better then New Testiment.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Tell him about the Twinkie.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

So many Ghostbusters references = win.

But seriously, I don't really care if there's a religion forum or not. It won't bother my britches any.

But maybe it's a bad idea - I dunno if there's a maturity level high enough on here to handle a religion forum.

 

[Logan's Runt]

Franklin Richards has volunteered to moderate it!

 

[katie_girl09]

My brain is fried from work so....

Oh, yes. Work. Typical man.

 

[SuperFerret]

I don't think it'd be a good idea, but if it had been implemented it would require HEAVY moderation. Moreso than the political forum.

Ew.

Well... Same applies right?

Think of this for a second. As it stands, we have bigots and buttholes here who believe it's necessary to not only preach their belief system to anyone whether they want to listen or not, but to also belittle and bemoan and condemn others for believing what they do, since it's different. And that's just having one thread. Imagine all the trolling and flaming we're going to get when it comes to be an entire forum. People going into the Muslim/Islam threads either posting pics of Achmed the Dead Terrorist, or just right out calling them terrorists. Atheists and Christians fighting in all sorts of threads. It'd easily be as bad as the politics forum is now, when it's on a good day. Nell2ThaIzzay said it best.:

[Immortalfire]

Thanks to this thread, I now have the urge to watch Ghostbusters.

 

[Drakon]

It's how I do. I spread the awesome to others.

 

[Immortalfire]

Yes you do, and that's an awesome power. Are you a god?

 

[Drakon]

Obviously.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Obviously.

Then DIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!

...

Oh wait... DAMNIT!

 

[Fresh Prince]

Ew.

I would find that highly entertaining but wrong at the sametime...But maybe we can give it a chance and see how it goes...Maybe this time things would be different.

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!

i love you man

A religion forum is way too broad. I wouldn't mind seeing threads on specific religions in order to learn about it in an educational standpoint. Rather than debating the validity of any of the religion that the thread is about we would be presented with information about its various tenets and try to arrive towards a better understand of it.

Tha't's just it--we are not that kind of place. You want that, join SomethingAwful, or 4chan.

That'd be great, but anyone who has been here for two months realizes we can't do that here on this site.

But we have a firepole, so I'm gonna go get my stuff.

To have that many threads related to religion it would be necessary for an entire forum encompassing the topics therein.

Also, in order to keep things in check there would have to be designated threads for the various subjects.

 

[Paradoxium]

Such a forum already exists. Click here.

i feel so funky

Religion does not need a forum. Threads open and get closed all the time on religion. Opening a religious forum is just asking for heated arguments and multiple infractions. Both believers and non-believers are guilty of getting riled up. Its ALMOST impossible to have a civil dispute on it, although I have seen it done.
