A Serious Proposal
September 22, 2015 at 9:06 am
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?

I think we already have a debate subforum. Under the philosophy section.

LOL, You misunderstand, Chad. Randys looking for some special place to post spam and non-response....not a debate.

This is not about debate (which is more formal).
This is about having a place to post threads for discussion of various matters having to do with theism and atheism in a more serious manner.
Those who are not interested in that type of discussion could continue their usual banter in the "other" Christianity subforum.
Something for everyone.

Did you really need to pull this song and dance just to bitch about how people aren't taking you seriously? Was the last thread created for that same purpose not enough?

To the contrary.
I'm looking for a place to chat with people who won't post the kind of crap you just posted.

Really, Randy? If you want to be taken seriously in your threads, present your own arguments in your own words (you can use links to support it but don't copy pasta the whole damn website), and try to make your points without being a condescending jerk. There are people here who will have serious discussions with you. You choose to focus only on the ones who won't, because your reason for being here isn't really to discuss anything. You just come to make a scene so you can run off and cry to your friends about how the big bad atheists were mean to you.

I'm proposing an improvement that would enable some to have fun in one forum while those who want to discuss rational arguments for their respective positions can do so in relative calm elsewhere.

Is a separate subforum a good or bad idea?
Why?
