I can not see religion being banned as a debate it allows for great and informative points of view,one does not have to share in the debate if they don't wish to and that is the democratic way, hope this helps.....

Of course not.

On the other hand when people give religious answers to secular questions just so that they can promote their own particular brand of superstition it becomes very tedious. (On Askaholics, we had three of them; they turned every question into a religious tirade, high-fiving each other constantly; when they continued uncontrolled for a couple of months, I reluctantly closed my account.)

Fortunately they've been kept on a leash here but in the past 24 hours I've noticed a resurgence, mostly posting anonymously. Trolls.

From the excellent, and entertaining web page Flame Warriors, meet  The Deacon. You'll probably recognise him.

"Be he a Baptist, Scientologist or Zoroastrian, in the heat of battle Deacon will call down Divine retribution on all net sinners, and will never miss an opportunity to blather endlessly about his religion. Deacon is fervent and earnest, but seldom contributes anything of interest or substance to the discussion."

Of course not. I get my greatest laughs from the ridiculous religious postings that appear hear from time to time.

No.  This is a free and democratic country.  Isn't this what Blurtit is all about?  It allows us to comment, answer and debate others.

Lets keep an open dialogue, even with those we disagree with.

"Religion" is a very vague term. Anything should be open to debate. Your lifestyle as affected by your choice of, or lack of, a religious influence does not mean you can not exist with others.

Nope

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

It is a very sad state of affairs when some one needs to be given an answer to this question.
