Threads Moving? New Religion Forums?

Let me attempt to ressurect this thread. Cribs, are there any guiding influences in your faith system (maybe Christianity) that direct how you run a stable? This may sound like an absolutely ridiculous question, but I would also like to ask RBHill if there are also any admirable qualities that he has found in how you operate your business or thinking.

I really don't think that you can seperate the two "Religion and Politics" When alot of legislation has to do with what can be called morality.
I think that a person who responds to a thread, no matter what it is, with a religious comment it is their opinion based on what is important to them.
The main problem is that if some one makes a religious statement in a thread; people will go out of their way to attack or "try to make them understand the right way of thinking"(I guess that could go either way) and this hijacks most threads, and should be avoided.

I think I must agree with Cribs on this one. Has anyone noticed that if you ignore the whining about its placement in the general forum the "Week 1 Bible Study is on Salvation" thread is one of, if not the, best debate on RHP. The intent that the name of the thread suggests has no place on RHP, however, the intent has not been realised anyway, and a lively debate ensued...sounds good to me.

Now out of the original 9 if you remove Cribs post, ...[text shortened]... ng with anybody, please read the thread yourself to find out what EXACTLY is going on.

You've all forgotten about the difference between religion and metareligion.

I don't think proselytizing constitutes a debate. The problem with what Cribs is saying is that while a debate may start in one of those threads, I don't think the intent of the OP is to debate (in this case, he doesn't ever seem to want to). Now some of the most ridiculous spam is allowed to exist in General (the long thread, for instance) so I see no difficulty: religious discussion goes in General, discussion about religion goes in debate.

I [b]might move a couple or at least one thread back to debates.

I fear if we had a new religion forums... some would come to pick on posters. If ever there does come a religion forums... those posts would be removed (if it were up to me / it is not).

Seems to me anyone who wants to talk about religion is asking for a debate... but they don' ...[text shortened]... ![/b] RHP has no plans for a new forums yet... Russ is still on vacation??? Keep that in mind.[/b]

I know what posts you are referring to. Please post the date and time of the post as I asked. Otherwise your accusation of my statistical error will be ignored as it should be. Unless of course you decided that today really means yesterday 🙂

I have read the thread in question, and in light of your accusations I reviewed it again. I stand by my claim that it is a good debate (although continually interupted by questions concerning where it should be located). T ...[text shortened]... nt inability to recognize a debate when you see one.
