Would you stay on RF if religion wasn't discussed here?

[Quagmire]

I would stay. Tbh, I think the whole idea of talking about religion/ God/ theology is a waste of time. To me, it's like talking about music as opposed to listening to it or learning to play an instrument.

I came here to help detox myself from the last vestiges of the guilt by reason of existence psychological residue that religion had help instill in me and that I've been carrying around with me (to some extent without even knowing it) all my life.

I reached a point in my life where I realized I was going to have to take a good look at the religious beliefs I'd been raised with and exposed to: what they were, where they came from, and either accept them and give myself to them or walk away from them completely.

Long story short I came away from all this with my theism intact, but with a belief that religion itself was just a man-made institution that I owed nothing to.

All of that happened in the first few months and I'm still here. although I'm not always sure why.

With your search history, this is probably all that would come up:

Oh, that's another reason why I stay here: to be a little ray of sunshine in your life.

 

[Soandso]

No. Even on topics that aren't religious in nature, a bit of religious insight is given by posters due to the context of this forum. People are here because they care about religion and religious perspectives

What would I do without you?

What would I do without you?

Have normal conversations?

 

[JustGeorge]

Have normal conversations?

I don't think I'm capable of that.

 

[Secret Chief]

I don't think I'm capable of that.

I was trying to be kind.

I'm not asking as a staffer. I'm just curious. I've noticed, for example, that there are members here who hardly - if ever - drop by the religious threads, and prefer the other sections of the site. If the religious forums of Religious Forums were removed, would you stay? The question is directed at everyone.

My posting would be much less

 

[Debater Slayer]

Probably not. Religious topics are the essence of RF. Even in threads about other subjects like politics and science, religious overtones often loom, and understandably so.

NEVER. Religion is all that matters.

 

[Truthseeker]

No. I would leave

Yeah, me too. There some things to talk about other than that, but it wouldn't be worthwhile for me any more.

I wouldn't be likely to stay here. Sure, there are other topics that might be interesting, but religion is my main topic.

It's a hypothetical.
