I guess there could always something. I've been around the internet so long that pretty much nothing surprises me anymore. I think I've heard just about every argument anti-theists could possibly argue, at least, but who knows.

Debating religion is extremely pointless. There's nothing that can be said that we haven't all heard a million times before, especially on the internet. People rarely change their views as a result. Discussing different beliefs without trying to change anyone's mind, though, is interesting. Politics is pretty much the same way.

So yeah, fully support bumping and/or creating new threads about these topics.

Yeah, I think we've come to a general understanding and respect for our
different belief systems. I think we ended up just coming up with stuff
because we wanted to do it for enjoyment rather than actual debating.

I wouldn't mind it being bumped again, I can throw in some good Christian
perspectives to the table if I actually know what t say. X|

And I suppose if a discussion like that gets started I'll partake, but I don't really have any ideas for how to start one.

We haven't had a politics one yet. I might bump the religion related thread,
but if we're up to doing a politics thread then maybe someone can start it.

I'm really surprised how well that topic worked... Religion? On the internet? With no arguing? We must be pretty mature.

^ Pretty much why these topics were banned in the first place. Lol. I think we're a little more mature than this now, though.

The rule has never "officially" been lifted, but as I'm basically the only mod around, no one enforces it anymore. I'm 99% sure Spyrorocks doesn't care anymore, either.

Would it be weird if I put my two cents into a thread that hasn't been commented on in two years? I mean someone will read this so... okay I'll go for it.
I'm all for being able to discuss 'mature' topics. Give it its own section and closely monitor it, but it can still be extremely beneficial. Debate is very healthy and can be enlightening. I've read plenty of interesting debates that have definitely opened my mind about things. If people want to discuss religion, politics, philosophy, etc. I think they should be allowed to. As long as they do it in a mature, respectful way.
Of course the ban may have been lifted without me knowing; I haven't been here in years. But yeah, I would love to get into some philosophical debates, so I voted 'yes' for allowing banned topics.
That's pretty much all I have to say here.

To be honest, I didn't see much politics related topics this month.
I saw maybe two, but those didn't last long at all.
My input is that someone should create a topic, about politics, with the
purpose of testing how well it goes. I don't know what the topic can be
about, it could be about Obama or some other leader. Maybe the "New
World Order?" [Or does that fall under religion?]

Well apparently the British undergoing a huge political reform isn't big news around here. I should have seen this coming. People just aren't that interested in politics around here. We'd get some mileage out of religion, but after a while it would just be recycled garbage again and again. And sexuality would just be "I'm such and such, now nobody can make much of a comment on what I just said."

It's a shame, but it hasn't seemed to work.

Also, that last question, depends on your perspective on what this "World Order" is.
