I'm making sure I get email notification of all the posts to this thread so I can read the future posts that may or may not be moderated out of it. I see a high likelihood of outraged forum members.

Why is conflict so captivating?

Everyone on this forum needs to stop being so damn SENSITIVE. I keep seeing people post things like "I'm offended" and "that's offensive"...c'mon people, this is an online forum...grow some thicker skin.

There is no reason to argue religion. Anyone with half a brain can see that religion is a joke. There's no point in even wasting my time discussing it.

I am offended by that remark.

But seriously, you cannot dismiss the beliefs of billions of people as a mere joke. There is a lot more going on with religion than we can fully understand.

Is that a "lump-sum" or what ... "beliefs of billions of people" ???

The good thing is, we have somebody in our midst who knows exactly what all the millions' beliefs are about, huuh...!

To understand the genesis of this thread, please take a look at the "what are they teaching Saudi children" thread.

(Did you notice how cleverly I threw in a Biblical term?)

I am up to speed and appreciate the uncluttered discussion of this topic offered by your thread.

I expect an exodus from the other thread.
