Hey all. Its been quite a whie since I frequented these forums (about 2 years I think). I've been visiting the forum again the past few days and I see not much has changed in terms of how topics generally deteriorate into cat fights and handbag throwing. So I'd like to make a suggestion: how about we all...wait for it...practice what we preach? Christians should be bearing the fruit of Galatians 5 (kindness, patience, goodness, self-control etc), Islam claims to be the religion of peace, atheists claim they don't need religion to be moral and kind, etc. You get the point. Yet the forum is flooded with sarcasm, hate speech, accusations, etc. |

So either A) your belief system does not manifest itself in reality the same way as it does in theory or in your claims, or B) you are not practicing what you preach, which is the definition of a hypocrite, people. So let me make this suggestion: be the example of what you say your religion / belief system is all about. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to disagree and debate topics without getting personal or resorting to hate speech or irritation. Unless, that is, points A or B above apply!

it is a discussion forum that has piled together the most sensitive societal aspect of mankind, by its very nature clashing is an inevitable outcome, its like asking folks in a sports forum say soccer's man u or arsenal, or cricket's india-pakistan, or rugby SA-Newzealand, to just get along, u want creationists and evolutionists to rhyme

I support your initiative n1ck but the main problem is that we dealing with topics that are close to the heart and people react on emotion. everyone is not cool and calm especially when you challenging their belief system.

We are all the by products of 4 billion years of evolution, so why not act like it for a change.

I fully understand the nature of the forum and the inevitability of nastisness. What I'm saying is, if your your belief system is as peaceful in nature as you claim, you ought to be the fruit of that. The nature of your belief system should bear fruit in the way you, as a follower, treat others. Just think everyone should think about that next time before getting acid with each other.

i agree Nick, if u look at how how ppl conduct themselves in this forum, u can understand nd see how wars are started by the so called religious.... there is a difference between givin ur views, opinions, sharin ur beliefs in a debate as opposed to arguin..... respect is all that is needed.

Well thats the wonderful thing about belief systems, you can interpret it into justifying any type of nastiness, intolerance and brutality of thought and deed that happens to tickle your balls.

true! but the solution to it has always been there from the get go, just make a topic exclusive, like the Christian Chatbox, they get along like white on rice, or new muslim chat, its arabic so i don't get much but i guess there muezzin is doin his adhan thang good, but if a topic is open its like playing in the rain don't trip when u get wet
