But I think what people might be doing is driving this comment to the bottom because actual debates on religious beliefs usually go badly on internet forums in general. Without collapsible comments, such things have a tendency to blow up a thread.
I've heard that it was considered extremely impolite to discuss politics or religion in public in the 1800's. I wish that were a little more true today.
