It's supposed to be for 'conspiracies in Religions' - ie. The Holy Grail, The Bloodline of Christ, The Black Madonna, location of the Ark of the Covenant etc. -

I realized while writing my original post that my efforts might be in vain. However, I figured that it was worth a shot even if only a few people were able to reconcile their differences.

This particular forum has long ago become little more than a soapbox for religious fundementalists, bible-thumpers, and sermonisers, I'm afraid.

It's a crying shame really, but that's the simple truth of it.
I think as long as this forum is used in this kind of abusive manner, then people who resent this form of insipid propaganda are going to take shots - and who can really blame them??

Osiris1953, I think you are the only Atheist (you are an atheist right?) that I have ever been able to agree with. I don't like fighting with people, I try to clarify things about misconceptions about what I believe, but people don't listen.
There are sooo many (really too many) threads about how evil God and Christians are, al I ever see on the forum section is constant hatred from the other side, people name calling Chrisitans constantly and creating threads to try and bait Chrisitans, it's really just rediculous and I don't know why any mods have'nt stepped in, I think they try there best to avoid this section, personally I don't blame them.
All in all though, I'm getting tired of the same crap being spewed up and then the Christians debunking that crap (like Zieghtgiest, if anyone else uses that crap as "proof" for anything I'm going to scream!).
A star for you though my friend, maybe they will let you be a mod, you seem to be a fair minded person.
Let's end the fighting.
