Anna B Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Religion and politics really get people going, probably because it affects everyone in one way or another, and everyone has different points of view. It's hard to avoid. Whether you think it's a lively discussion, pointless arguing or just plain boring is up to you, but it certainly shouldn't be banned. If everyone agreed all the time there'd be no discussion and there wouldn't be much point in the Forum. Edited October 28, 2022 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever dare to question any other religions. So long as they leave Hinduism alone. Rishi's religion has had very little attention, it's almost like people/media are scared of it. Is it a big deal that our leader is a Hindu? How does it differ from other religions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever dare to question any other religions. Nonsense. e.g. There was that muslim guy who posted on religious threads who's posts people questioned but since he just monologued rather than actually engaging in discussions it wasn't very fruitful. 1 minute ago, El Cid said: So long as they leave Hinduism alone.

It's more likely the case that people on the forum don't know much about Hinduism and there aren't any openly Hindu posters willing to debate it.

Maybe it's because all the decent, sensible ones in the middle are fed up with all the rubbish posted by both sides and have decided to just leave them to it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, which is why I usually steer clear, although I did have a fruitless few minutes in the 'Labour Party' topic a little while back.

There was 1 open Muslim and posted. Mostly the discussion about religion focused mainly on Christianity though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
