Will someone please see to it that anti-Christian

bashing threads are placed in religion and ethics, where they belong?

I'm getting a bit weary of every single thread being polluted by anti-Christian rhetoric and comments about the idiocy of "xtians" and the enlightenment of fucking "Piccans" and "Wagans"

Ok, fine. I don't think I can keep it out of the threads either. Carry on. You're fun to trash.

Have you got a specific example of something that's gone so far off topic it should be moved?

Allie has a point, in her usual tactless manner. If the best defense anyone has against a conservative argument is to attack their religion, then I suggest those people get a little knowledge on whatever the topic is and try to refute them with facts of the topic, not sideways attack the opponent's religion. That is just proof of lack of an argument.

And without naming any names, Pagans and Wiccans are as capable of being insufferable asses as Christian fundies. Let's try to not prove ourselves to be exactly what we are accusing others of being.

Thanks

Gunny
