That is a fair critique. I adopted a contrary position to a couple of the others just to prevent it from being a group hug. And for that Ive been tarred and feathered.
I proposed it as as an experimental alternative to a "civility" thread. I opposed a civility thread in part because despite all the grief I get (and give back) i firmly support the free expression of ideas, including insults. I said there is a perfectly good underutilized debate are for focused moderated discussions.
Im glad for the experiment but agree that it might not be worth repeating. Nevertheless i do believe it has generated at lot of interesting conversations. AF was getting kind of stale. If nothing else this livened it up some.
I can see this. Do not take offense, but like I was taught early on. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". While I disagree with much of what you say (religionwise), These days, I do not have to consider theistic arguments further.
A friend of mine has an autoimmune desease. His 18 y o sun went to fatima to kneel all the path. You know, to get gods to help it. A hail storm cane at the begginning, everyone was fleing. I was prepared with an umbrella that I used to shield him all the way Hail just bouncues off. It wasn't bigass hail ofc.
