I noticed there is a sub forum for conservative Christians which is really great, but what about liberals and atheists? Or people of other religious beliefs? Would it be possible to have forums for those people too? Personally I would really appreciate it and it would make me feel very welcome because I am a Liberal and agnostic. It would be great to have a sub forum where people with similar beliefs can discuss with me. Let me know what you think of this idea!

Thank you,
Krystianna

The main forum should have been religion so that it could branch off to multiple religions but I pitched that idea once and it got shot down Since this board gets a lot of traffic and has a diverse group of people it really needs to be renamed to religious discussion instead of christian conservatives.

Maybe someone could rent out a forum and make it an all religion discussion forum. I, myself, am a liberal Christian (which doesn't make sense to a lot of people). I have no problem with the Christian Conservative forum, but I think that there should be one that includes everything else at least. That way I might be able to talk to fellow Christian people who might not be strongly conservative or even liberal like myself.

I agree with Jigsaw. When I first saw this thread I immediately thought it would be better to simply change the forum to something like "Religion" instead of making it seem like mono-religious forum.

I agree we should have an all religion forum instead of a christian conservative forum. I am christian (don't know what type) but I am very tolerable about other religions. Ok so I believe in the christian religion but I have my own spin on it. (Yeah I'm a wack job lol!)

If anyone wants to make an all religion forum I'll donate Viz to it!

In all honesty, i originaly intended to rent a forum for atheism that would have disscusions about origin and morality etc, and encourage debate in it.
But i never bothered asking because i dont think david would approve it.

Yeah I remember seeing that JigSaw pitched an idea similar to this. Not many people approved. Seeing that David is a Christian, I don't really see it being approved any time soon, sadly.

Thank you all for your input. It is a true shame that an all religions board would not be considered but if the owner of the site is against it, then I suppose he is entitled to feel that way. (it is his site after all) I am glad to know other people agree with me, though. Thank you again!

JigSaw : Bummer that you got shot down =/ And you had a good idea, too.

rcarter2 : I don't think being a liberal Christian doesn't make sense. I know many people with similar beliefs. I am glad to know that although you are Christian, you would be for other religious discussions  

thenumberone : I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask? I think that is a great idea.

Well as jigsaw apparently already asked a much more minor change its liable to be 'in the wind' as a certain saying goes.
But i supose we can definitively 'put this to bed' as they say.
Davideo7 :
i take it her question will have the same answer as whenever jigsaw asked?

The only reason we have a Christian Conservative forum is because I have a christian gaming website and that's the official forum for it. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't even have a religious forum, they cause too much drama and fighting. Eventually something will be done with that forum, I still don't know what but in time that forum will either be moved or removed.

It is a good suggestion, but this is a VERY religious forum. Did you not notice that swearing is against the rules? Or that there is a huge cross right in the middle of each page? Davideo is a Christian and, like all Christians, wishes to bring his ideals on to everyone else.

Lazlo Falconi : LOL I actually didn't even notice there was a cross in the site's background.

Swearing is against the rules because the site is family friendly. I want the site to be safe for people of all ages to use and I want everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable using it. I don't think young kids should be exposed to dirty language or adult content but I guess I might feel that way because I'm a Christian. Me being Christian has some influence on the site but not a ton.

Davideo7 : Wow really? I thought the cross seemed very intentional. XD

Oh well, rereading my post it seems very condescending toward Christians but I didn't mean it that way, and I definitely agree with your policy on swearing around children (Though I'll never agree with children on the Internet...)

I never acknowledged it as a cross either. I just thought it was a cool design.

That aside, rcarter2 had the right idea. Personally, I don't have the time to maintain it, but if you could get enough people interested then you might be able to get a rented forum going.

Scratch that. Apparently, David isn't renting forums out anymore-

LOL, i don't think that I've ever actually seen the background as a cross.

Overall, I think that the forum has been a pretty accepting place... it's only been in those cases where the majority is against something that I have seen really lively debate.

BNuge : I have an excellent idea for a rented forum. I could do this idea too. I can get the Viz in maybe a month, two months if I really tried. But he is not renting our forums right now because of the inactivity in them. He is letting their subscriptions run out, as far as I know

xytha : I agree with you that there should be something, as long as there is a Christian forum. I myself am an half-way atheist: I believe there is a higher being of some sorts out there, just not the Christian god.  Anyway, until David takes down the Christian part, there should be more sub-forums there.

thing1 :
Actually, from what you said I would say your belief is more akin to deism than atheism or agnosticism. The fact that you believe in a "higher power" at all sort of rules out agnosticism, which is more defined by the belief that we can't or won't know. Don't worry, though; Lazlo probably still has a cream for you.
