A Serious Proposal

[Jenny A]

Would it make sense for the forum to have a separate subforum for the discussion of apologetics, doctrine, pro and con arguments for theism and atheism, etc?

It seems that many non-Christian forum members have gotten quite upset that their "sanctuary" (from Latin sanctus - "holy") has been invaded from time to time by people who have come here to discuss ideas and evidence supporting Christianity. This spoils the fun for those who simply want to poke fun instead.

Perhaps creating a second subforum for the exclusive purpose of allowing theists and atheists to make their respective cases would make everyone happier.

Thoughts?

The philosophy forum and the religion forum and its subforums appear to work just fine for discussing whether god exists or any particular religion has any truth to it.  The ones concerning the existence of god or which try to prove the divinity and/or resurrection of Jesus tend to get repetitive as one Christian after another comes forward with the same arguments as the last one.  I've only been on the forum just a little over a year and I've already seen threads concerning every argument in you have brought up at least twice, usually more than twice.  Sometimes they lead to real discussion, sometimes not.  Copy-paste and blatant proselytizing rarely do.
