If you've been on the internet for more than ten seconds you must have realized that religion is one of the worst topics to discuss, ever.

It NEVER leads to any conclusion and only leads to massive arguments that repeat themselves. Its utterly pointless.

Then don't post. You're off topic.

Because you are threadjacking.

Word things better? I asked "Why the hell does this topic exist?" and explained why I think it shouldn't.

I don't see how I could be any clearer.

If you don't like it, DON'T POST IN IT.
How much clearer can that be? You're off topic and disrupting the thread.

Question semi-answered.

That is true, but, I think I did a good job stating why religion has no place on the internet.


This thread is not about whether religion has place or not on the net. So, if you wish to continue this line of thought, maybe you should make a thread.


I would, but I am afraid it would lead to nothing. Kind of like it is now.

I'm going to catch some sleep, its pointless to continue my argument.

The shroud of Turin was carbon dated and found to be a clever 11th century forgery. A very good one, but not an authetic relic.

And, lol what?
