As for actual rules I'd like:
1. stop reposting pictures and videos from all the other religious threads, they are probably hilarious and enlightening but they get tiring
|
Mainly agree, some images/videos are appropriate at times, but spamming the same ones over and over isn't that great.

2. stop bringing up the trope that religion is the root cause of all wars/bloodshed/suffering/ills of society, etc.
|
Agree, add to that Stop saying Atheism was responsible for Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, and their atrocities.

3. Photon should post more because he sounds smarter than me and he wears the forum administrator belt of invulnerability to critcism
|
lol yup agree, and be nice to see Textcritic more often, but I'm sure he's on another level in regards to biblical knowledge, he's probably have more fruitful conversations with theologans (probably frustrate even them.)

4. Talk more about the actual religion and beliefs and practicies and debate the plausibility or applicability of those in our contemporary world with contemporary knowedge in a critical manner instead of fighting over evolution/big bang/dawkins/intelligent design/spaghetti monsters ad nauseam as always. Challenge and discuss actual beliefs held by people, stop arguing about semantics and the metaphysical which never goes anywhere.

Couldn't agree more, if we find anyone claiming they don't believe in evolution however Id suggest its fair to ask them what points and debate them, but again if we try to keep it more focused on specific issues rather than god vs no god we'd all be better off I think.
Also add maybe one more, people posting "Oh no here we go again, bashing religion thread" can also stop, its not hard to not click on a thread if you are bothered by the discussion.
I'd give you some thanks but I'm all out, so here's a picture instead:
