Religious topics

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you feel about religious topics being discussed on your forum?

Religion often leads to disagreements and arguments that can become toxic. It might cause fallout between members and could create unwanted drama. Some forums choose to forbid religion and such topics altogether.

Where do you stand and why?

From my experience, religious topics being discussed on forum usually blows up to a heated arguments. No matter how people try to keep it calm and civil, things always go out of hands. It's why even though I'm not totally against it but I make sure the discussion is constantly being watched to cool things down if they want to escalate.

I want to allow it on my forums because it can bring about engagement but man it can really go wrong, too.

We haven't had any religious topics discussed on my forum, but some political topics have gotten heated in the past.

I'm a religious person as I believe in God, so I don't know how I'd feel about those going against him.

It will most likely go wrong if it doesn't get a staff keeping an overwatch on how the discussion is going. Similar thing happened in one ROFLMAO forum some months back, the Admin had to step in to calm things down.

I think political posts will go south quicker than religious posts in this day and age, though.

It depends on the country if you ask me because over here, we are more easily divided by religion and tribes. Majority of the people have the same mindset towards our country's politics. More than 90% of our people hate the government.

I'd say it's the same here in America.

However, it's a division thing. Half hates the right. Half hates the left. Only a few of us middle people seemed concerned about the future.

It's the problem between the rights and lefts in America. They just can't find a way to meet at a common ground and resolve their differences. They are destroying the country more than they are helping it.
