Years ago I had to do community service for a crime I didn’t commit. I chose to work for a church after hours of manual labor at lil Talbot island. (They’ve got some ruins or something that was eroded and I shoveled by hand a couple dump truck loads of oyster shells to keep the ruins from ruing more or something. Go have a look. I did a bang up job. Anyways..I was suspect of myself for smoking and wanted to quit. The youth pastor said to me and I won’t forget, “do you think he’s gonna send you to he’ll because you smoke cigarettes”? Then it made more sense, lol.

This makess me chuckle because the day I quit was the day I was dunked as an adult.
It's a shame we can't have civil discussions along these lines, because topics like these would be fun to unpack philosophically, to a point. Not going to though, so no worries all ya gods mods

I understand why religion and politics were banned way back. They bring in politics and I see what that did. I’m guilty, at times of adding to it. But I honestly don’t think religion would bring the same grief as the political does now.

I also think it would be a fun topic to discuss. There have been many topics brought up that couldn’t be fully discussed without it. Topics in which religion played a role in a portion of it. Considering the options, and what stats say what people think, oddly enough, more people are in line with religion than they are with politics. Politics is almost 50/50. Not so much on religion. I understand there would be guys coming in saying “ y’all are stupid”. But I can’t think of many scenarios in which a religious debate would come to the blows we see in the political section.

I’d love to fully discuss things like you and I mentioned above. As well as space, aliens and political stances. Even more than that. I’m not complaining about this site, but I’d wager that they allowed the wrong topic if they weren’t wanting toxic convos.
