We need more theistic activity

[Joods]

That question isn't pertinent to this thread.

Ohhhh so now you're talking about the PD rule. 

Remember that when a certain one of your theist buddies on here engages in quote mining and brings up crap that clearly isn't pertinent to a thread. I'll expect for you to have my back the next time this happens.

A "serious and civil discussion" section, kind of like a reverse Rlyeh? I think that's a good idea, actually. Problem is I don't think it would get much activity.

I believe there is one. It's the "debate" part of the forum and there are rules that are applied if you want to engage in a debate with someone. Haven't seen a debate on this site for a very long time. 

The problem is with some of the subforums here, people like to get into dick measuring contests when people reasonably expect to see verifiable proof of the claims that others are making. When asked for such proof, the person needing to supply it, ends up resorting to the name calling first. Does it work both ways? Of course it does. But if you look at people like LR and Drich, they are two of the ones that generally start off spouting the insults first. Once this happens, there goes any chance of reasonable discussion.
