This post isn't really meant to result in any action or banning or whathaveyou... I'm very curious to know what people think of the bounds of the topics for the Social board.I don't have to name names, but it has lately to some extent been used for the purposes of religious recruitment, a sales pitch in a way...
This goes beyond the talk of religion, which I think is appropriate, for example someone had mentioned how reading the bible helped his or her depression...
What we have gotten a large dosage of lately are persons claiming to be religious prophets speaking of things that have no reference outside of the message being posted and at times clearly showing a lack of knowledge on just basic facts...
Instead of a discussion, you get questions answered with questions, you get respones that don't even really make much sense, as someone else pointed out, its really just a waste of time to post responses unless you are simply asking for the original poster to elucidate or continue their diatribe as it were...
The real answer to all my rambling post is that you just ignore that person and eventually they go away... I think that sort of tactic works best.
However, I am curious to know how people would feel if someone were pitching something a little less abstract, like say Christianity outright, or even Satanism... Is it right in any case to be a fisher of men (and women, the bible is so mysogyinstic its silly)...?
just wondering what people think.
