Why I think so (same for politics and other serious topics), anyway. I've noticed a number of pro-religion and anti-religion topics, and while I think the way many of the users here go about the discourse is toxic in ways, what I find even more toxic is rhetoric that asserts that [i]talking[/i] about serious issues is somehow [i]bad[/i]. Talking about things is how we progress as people. Using ad hominems and calling each other stupid is indeed toxic and will not aid any discourse. But it's much more efficient to make posts and threads [i]humbly[/i] criticisizing the way people talk about issues, rather than begging a ban on meaningful discourse altogether. After all, this is how society in the past has pummeled into the dark ages. This is the sort of thing Orwell feared so much. And I for one think it is beautiful that our youth will use their leisure time and an outlet for escape to attempt to approach serious issues that affect our world. If you're religious and someone with a hot head flames you and calls you stupid, be humble, and kindly explain why you disagree and what you think about their tactics. If you're not religious and someone thinks that the beautiful sky is obviously evidence of divinity, don't respond with personal attacks. Once again humility is the key to openning up hearts and minds and if someone won't hear you then wash your hands of it. But above all, don't ban discussion. If anything is evil, surely that is. If you don't want to read about it, don't click.
