You dont think, it just may be the topic, and not the actual point of view? I guess it is easy to feel as you do rather than think this is going to happen slowly and more importantly once this particular thread has run it's course and everyone has had their say. But I dont know, I don't know your mind.

Honestly I'm struggling to find out where all the bitterness and simmering anger is coming from in here. Elvis wished to simply move all religion into one place as this was no longer serving the original purpose. Other issues have arisen from this thread which have been interesting in the least. I cant see how it isn't considered a bad thing when some people have admitted they feel awkward in here, or for whatever reasons are uncomfortable. If this did become a general religion forum, this wouldn't be acceptable. It certainly isn't as it is right now. We can bring up all the comparisons we like, of how some feel this way about FYM for example but we aren't talking about FYM and FYM can't be changed to be less aggressive. It has become defined by the minds of the people who post there and that is something no moderator or admin on the face of this earth can overcome. Religion now, as a topic has now the potential to become a forum everyone can be comfortable in. We can all shape what we'd like it to become before it becomes a monster like FYM is. As for this straying from it's original purpose, again we can bring up other examples of where this has been ok in the past like IO. But this isn't IO.
None of us here wish to censor anyone's views. Either everyone is silenced on it, or we get a bigger shoe which fits everyone. The former will not happen in a million years, and besides no one wishes this. So the latter is our option. How we go about making it happen is where people can offer constructive ideas so we have everyone happy.
