An old topic I posted about is being talked about again. When I posted the topic there was no religious forum and it was posted in Politics. I got many responses. The post needs more chatter from others......
Is that the one where they want to use the bible as a science text book?

No thanks. Non-christians aren't welcome there. That has been made abundantly clear in the past. They need to change the name from Religion Forum to Close Minded Christian Forum.
PLEASE... because I posted about being an atheist in a thread about religous preference I received an email from an idiot moderator named chad saying I am not welcome there.
I did not bash anyone on their beliefs,just figured it was another forum to hash things out.
Well I see they are like the peta group.Cram their ways down your throat and if you disagree with them,your out.
Doesn't sound like a situation in which any exchange of ideas can take place. Thats too bad because religion is an area where a lot can be learned from others about the differences out there.

The catch is that religious beliefs are the hardest thing to change in a person. People are more defensive about religion than anything, and many people can't stand to have their convictions challenged or their motives questioned. Some religions are more accepting than others, but I generally find protestant Christians to be the most closed minded of any. Considering myself a protestant Christian, that should say a lot.
