Something maybe I should ask the mods

[dlg3000]

Are we allowed to talk about religion on this forum?

[Toxik916]

Sadly no

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

No. No. Hell no. Nein. Nope.

[dlg3000]

Okay, thank you.

[Kash Flagg]

Not trying to sound rude, but might want to have a quick read of the rules here for stuff like that. Thanks.

Nothing sad about that, IMHO. Yes, thoughtful discussion of religion would be nice. However, religion is one of those things (along with politics) where very few conversations about it are thoughtful, especially on the internet. Even the ones that start off well enough tend to go off the rails along the way.

Besides, there are plenty of places to discuss religion elsewhere. I'm fine with not having to deal with it here.

you've been here almost five years?!?!?!

[Dave the Dave]

For the love of god no.

wait....

[Hit Girl]

The "no politics/no religion" rule should NEVER be lifted. This site would become very nasty, very quickly.

[deadstock]

Smarks an politics or religion is a bad combination.

You want a discussion on religion there is a forum somewhere there's a forum for everything

EVERYTHING!

To paraphrase a friend, "Politics and Religion are the two things you don't want to talk about in a forum"

There was only one exception made, that was during the race between McCain and Obama, during which a special thread was made and the mods pretty much had to focus all their effort on that to keep it civilized so yeah, unless there's a very important event that can't possibly be ignored, it's best to keep it the way it is.

"Sadly?"

Honestly, there are people here who can't remain civil while discussing men in tights pretending to fight. There is absolutely nothing that would ever make me believe that this forum can "handle" religious and/or political discussion.

Sithism is better because Jediism believes in little blood fairies.

Who's stupid enough to believe in blood fairies!?!?!
