The thing is a lot of members here are too young to really have any other view than the one they're told is right, so you get a lot of idiotic, close-minded posts. Then there's the flaming, etc. Silverline mentioned, and spam, then no debate can intelligently take place, because many people here are not willing to actually debate, but instead argue, and cannot see the other person's side of things.
Too many immature people is the point I'm trying to make.
However, that religion topic is one of about 4 that were tried here, all ending in disaster.
