Problem with your comment. Religion is discussable only. Why, because we as humans can not argue for or against an improvable, either prove existence or lack thereof, of the existence of God. And belief is personal. So, forgive my correction. We do not have true Christians that are fools. They relate their opinions and discuss the meanings of the scriptures....never implying that they authored the Word. This removes the possibility of arguments. Differences in understandings, but the core belief remains the same. That is there is only One God, One Creator.

BB; I do not ask that folks agree with my view. I only ask that they respond with their own view, if they are capable of doing so. And if they feel they can give a reason for their position, enough to open it for discussion. You might be surprised to find it is not Religion you find faulted, but people's inability to live what they talk. it is a constant turn-off. but might make for some interesting conversation. I invite you also, to join in the discussion, if you remain as polite as your post suggests.

What do you think?

May I humbly suggest, what you describe sounds to me more like what I call "Fussin' rather than "Arguing." To "Argue" is a term developed in a Mathematic discipline known as "logic," and it means "to present a reason for..."; it usually consists of a major premise, a minor premise, and sustaining evidence.

It is then set up for discussion.

Points of disagreement are prioritized, and evidence presented. Participants are required to read the material, and only after being sure they qualify, and want to participate, they then agree to respond to the material in prioritized order.

The discussion can be a one on one, or several may participate, but it should be made clear before any actual discussion begins, as to which format a particular thread is designed for.

What say ye?

The purpose of this section, is to serve as a little
"Sanctuary" from the heat and stress of the political world. And it can serve to give a pedestal to anyone who wants to share some spiritual salve to the wounds of others; or to share a particular doctrinal perspective; or to vehemently debate your personal religious view.

In other words, it will be a religious thread on a political board.

As for rules, simplicity prevails;
1) Since the assumption will begin that all posters will be gentlepersons in their soul, there is no need to tell you how to behave, as Christ already established that. Violators will be 1st, warned; 2nd edited; 3rd banned.

Otherwise, feel free to express orthodox or unorthodox position, as long as it is not an insult to The God Jehovah of the bible, or to His Christ; offering sustaining evidence for the position if you seriously want to share it; feel free to defend your position; or to disagree with another's position; Show forth the example of Christ in your life and all will be well on the board.

Devil's advocates are free to express disagreement, if you can do so without being disagreeable. Proper decorum is expected at all times.

Further rules may be applied as need arises.

Power up your keyboards, turn up your passion for righteousness, and flail away.

And God bless you.
