I have seen alot of unkind answers (and questions!) in here, alot of intolerance, and all of that stuff that alot of our faiths discourage (me too, i'm a Christian).
Then yesterday, I posted a question asking how people's faith helped them with depression as it is a struggle i currently have. Out of 30 something answers, there was only one "jebus" answer. The rest were genuine, compassionate, even from some of the regular trolls.
It got me thinking that maybe the "vibe" between people of differing faiths might change if they talk about something else, share another dimension besides their faith. Everyone here is capable of normal and stimulating conversation if they so choose. It may even promote some tolerance, it may even remind the angry ones that we are all just human beings.
