So basics here, as the title suggests this is a thread for discussion on all Philosophy and all Religion. Please keep in mind if you want to talk about the bible there is a thread already designed for that. Here you can debate issues and talk about different sects, beliefs, practices, as well as philosophical views.
Requests are: Please be civil with one another.
Limited discussion of politics as there is a thread for that unless it's part of the item at hand.
Example: Family murder on the steps of a Shinto shrine. Or the Vatican has a visit from a political person.
If you want to discuss about groups like Scientology please keep in mind the various issues people have with it and other similar religions.
Respect each others philosophical views.
Keep in mind that this is a discussion, so if someone disagrees with you on something be ready to defend your point.
Anyone pulling off being a bigot or acting like a jerk will be reported to a mod.
So Let's get started.
