I'm throwing this out because I feel it's in the best interest of everyone, but I'm sure it'll get shot down.  I feel religion and philosophy should get broken up and a different forum for each religion be added.  I think it would take away from the choas of the all to often science vs religion, and religion vs religion.  Its just what I feel

I understand what you mean about having separate ones but I think people need to learn to be civil when discussing different faiths.  So it's better for them to stay together.

A different forum for each religion?!

Apart from Christianity, they'd all be dead as hell.

And what's wrong with Science v Religion debates?

That would be way too many forums. And a healthy debate is often good. Good debaters will ignore the idiots, and flame wars will be locked or deleted. There's no sense in having several new forums for religions only a few people follow here either. Waste of space.

Sure would be a lot of forums.

For starters:

Anago
Ayyavazhi
Bábism
Batuque
Bön
Buddhism
Chondogyo
Christianity
Coadaism
Condomble
Confucianism
Esotericism
Gnosticism
Hinduism
Hoodoo
Islam
Jainism
Judaism
Kulam
Kumina
Macumba
Mami Wata
Manichaeism
Mazdakism
Mithraism
Mysticism
Obeah
Orphism
Oyotunji
Paganism
Pythagoreanism
Quimbanda
Rastafarianism
Sabians
Samaritanism
Santeria
Satanism
Shinto
Siberian Shamanism
Sikhism
Taoism
Tengriism
Umbanda
Vaastu Shastra
Vodou
Yazdânism
Yiguando
Zoroastrianism

And of course that list is far from complete.

Of course we could break it up into just most "popular" religions, but then those on the path of Hoodoo will go to hexing David for ignoring them, the Pagans will cry persecution, those who practice Santeria will sacrifice his dog, and so and and so forth.  Sounds like a party to me, but I'm not sure that it would be David's kind of party.

The Raven's "job" isn't to "police" the R&P forum.  Did you report the 6 page flame war, I wonder?  If not, then you're simply participating in something that you're denouncing.

As for the idea? Terrible.  This is a forum, debate should not be avoided, silenced, or separated.

No, there are 6 pages arguments because someone people make ridiculously stupid arguments and everyone jumps in and points it out.

And because of your massively biased mind you mean anything Christian, you should be stripped
