Why can't religion be discussed or questioned rationally like any other topic...

[rehumanietzsche]

...under the sun? (without any danger of being frowned upon, labeled a heretic or a blasphemer, or ex-communicated or worse be killed)

 

[The dark side]

Because some religious believers just won't - you have to agree with them or you're wrong. Period.

Religious leaders don't want people figuring out the truth.

 

[Bl♥ndy: Dark Ash Recipe]

It's strange... I am able to have normal, civilized conversations about religion with people of different faith in real life, but on here, all hell breaks loose... no pun intended.

 

[Angry Atheist]

There is entirely too much emotion wrapped up with religion for there to EVER be a totally unbiased discussion.

 

[Medusa]

It can be. It's just very difficult because people are so passionate about their core beliefs.

 

[Sine Ardi Non]

Religion is a form of mental illness, and as such is not amenable to rational discussison.
