What happenned?

It was going to start getting offensive. Once people start quoting religion, it leaves the door open for vicious mockery. People's beliefs are better left at home for discussion at the dinner table - not in a public forum. Mine included. I don't like public discussion of politics or religion.

What I learned from my grandmother is always talk weather or sports with strangers. Who walks up to strangers and talks politics or religion?

 

My grandfather had a similar stance - he used to regard those topics as very personal and not openly discussed.

Your grandfather = a wise man. (thumbs u

Those that want to participate peacefully can, those that can't restrain themselves just need to keep out.

Too much white noise fellas. I'm having a hard time staying concentrated.

No religous discussions allowed?

 

Not trying to be a smart arse, but when was that rule instituted?

 

Obviously Politics are a no no but unless I missed something I have never seen a "no religion" rule.

This is tricky for those of us who don't watch sports and never go outside.

I agree with you. I am a practicing Christin, have studied the book for hours on end, been in discussions in bible classes, etc., I can talk on the subject for house on end, but I don't like speaking of it much in public because of the very same reasons that you say as you can wind up offending people more that convincing them. There are times and places for these things. I rather teach people by how I live.
