This would defeat the purpose of the original intention to stoke the flames of religious persecution VN.

hmm most of the threads that go way into religion, do not actually start as a religious thread... so if it strays too far from the thread creators topic then i guess it should be split and put into the religion subforum, if this is to be created.

Other than news stories, what other sort of 'debates' will be hosted in the Religion section?

I don't see what's so unhealthy about a religious debate. If you don't want to debate then don't view the forum?

It hijacks threads constantly, and has been happening even more lately. I keep reading threads to suddenly see the same few people arguing about religion. Example: The thread about the girl who couldn't take her girlfriend to the formal.

It's not healthy debate, its often unprovoked and makes it difficult for the OP to get what they wanted from the thread.

The problem's not the religious debate, the problem is the fact that every second or third thread gets derailed with this religious debate hence the need for the forum.

This.

Anyway a religious debate thread would probably be a great idea.

By the way I wasn't here when sweet nothings was around. What was it?

Every time I hear religion on this forum, I think, "Oh, must be something about/to do with Islam"

And whenever I hear the word "Islam" on this forum, I think "oh no,not again, what other things are they going to present that is attempting to degrade Islam in any shape or form?"

Maybe it's not what is intended of this site, but unfortunately this is what I think of. I came on this forum expecting something completely different, but now it's different :(

Actually, look at any thread, they all go off topic very quickly.
