Religion threads and the CD rules

[JVN]

There are 3 things I try not to discuss with people who I want to be (or wish to remain) my friends:

1. Politics
2. Religion
3. Money

All CD needs now is a "How Much $$$ do you Make?" thread, and the set is complete.

unless of course your talking about fundraising and ways to get money for the team to compete

I know its not my place to say this but if someone can actually stay up and monitor the threads to make sure they go in a positive direction then fine, Let's try it and see what happens after all you'll never know if it works if you don't try it. If it gets to heavy then lock it up don't give them a warning just lock it down, and if more get created b/c of that one lock down say 6 more spring up after the original one gets locked down then everything needs to be re-considered. I say its too much work only b/c now you have to re-write the rules just b/c your gonna allow religion discussions or a closely related topic. Its all up to Brandon and as a member of the forums everyone should post their pros and cons (like we've been doing) and have a final poll with a final discussion.

So positiive religion is ok but negative to religion is locked? Very biased.

Science and Religion cannot coexist as long as religion tries to use science to prove it's points. Religion is about blind faith and science is about recognizing and accepting what you don't know.

Healthy discussion about all topics is encouraged. Hate and vitriol of all sorts is not tolerated.

Religion, honestly, has little to do with it.

Actually, it's all up to the coaches & those who represent our sponsors. I just make the website go, and have the fun position of being the person to relay stuff along to you all. We're working on it, give us time.

Brandon, maybe we can place religion under the moderated thread? It's a touchy topic and maybe those posts that get rejected can have people complain to you? I think that everyone just doesn't want it to get out of control. I may not agree with what they say, but so long as they don't cross the line into insults, I don't see a need for taking them completely off. Maybe we can have a religion subforum in the moderated section?
