There are a handful I simply won't respond to okasha Jul 2014 #30

I try to converse with some new ones from time to time, TM99 Jul 2014 #32

Glad that I'm not in the religion room anymore el_bryanto Jul 2014 #15

I am glad it worked for you. The religion room is very predictable. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #16

I think I check the Religion forum about once a week, if that. kentauros Jul 2014 #17

I can't tolerate that forum wryter2000 Jul 2014 #26

Agreed! There will never be open debate with a handful of them. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #27

Wow, just wow! I never claimed I was neutral so where do they get that idea? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #31

Lmfao! hrmjustin Jul 2014 #34

Good idea! okasha Jul 2014 #35

Agreed! hrmjustin Jul 2014 #36

Hopefully we can maintain "peace in the valley" here. MADem Jul 2014 #40

Indeed! hrmjustin Jul 2014 #41
