Philosophy and Religion forum

[Royston]

I made a comment in a recent thread about doing away with the religious side of the philosophy forum. It seems the main contention between members on here is sparked when talking about personal beliefs and or discussing religion in general...in fact some recent posts and threads (I'm not going to start name dropping) are just meaningless, and do not contribute to any form of healthy discussion at all...it's just a load of pot shots at individuals and organised religions.

 

The problem is, it's from people who already know each other, know their beliefs and know exactly where they stand, but still the same tired arguments keep cropping up.

 

There's plenty (and frankly very interesting) philosophical discussion to be had, without bringing religion into the mix.

 

Just a thought.

 

It may refresh philisophical debate on here, and may coax certain members away from that particular forum and talk about science and other issues instead.

 

Before anyone says it, there's plenty to debate within philosophy (it's about a broad a subject as you can get) that doesn't require bringing God or religion into the discussion.

No.

Keeps the creationists away.

There will be developments with the P&R forum in the coming weeks. I can't really discuss details because they haven't been finalised, but rest assured it's being looked into.

Glad to hear it, thanks Dave
