This is a community to talk freely about religion. ALL religion. Or the lack there-of. Everyone is welcome.
PLEASE, respect each other. If opinions differ, discussion is encouraged, but no spamming or insults. Trolls will not be tolerated - don't pick fights. We are all different, so respect those differences and this can be a great community and a positive learning environment.
So, no proselytizing or religion bashing. Thank you. Also, as this is to be a community for communication, PLEASE do not post anything with the comments disabled. Again, thank you.
With recent events, I'm going to try clarifying things a little. I want this to be a place of both information and discussion. Sharing info, articles and links that provide information about a particular religion is wonderful, especially if it helps outsiders understand. Keying us in on big religious/faith events is cool too. BUT... while links and articles to sites that are aimed at a particular group are welcome, please be considerate and put links and articles that are only of interest to one particular faith or path under an LJ-cut (how to here), so that those who are not interested may skim over it. Not sure? Be safe and cut it.
Inquisitive natures a plus. Open minds are a must.
Links:
A favorite site of mine? Beliefnet is great so go and have a look. Check out religious tolerance, About.com, Yahoo! and Wikipedia also. And there are the
religiousdebate, stop_hate, religion, interfaith, interfaith_talk, challenging_god, and many other communities to check out too. Just search :D.
My other communities:
wildkingdom: All about life science of any kind.
thefantastic: A community for the discussion of all things fantasy; books, movies, comics, songs, everything. :)
talkingtaboo: Just what is says, a place to talk about things that others shy away from.
chioffbeat: A place to find Chicagoland area alternative events, or anywhere in IL.
