Rename this board to "The Christianity Board"

Cuz people seem to associate spirituality with bible reading over here. Noone ever talk about other phylosophies and religions (cuz they're all "wrong" right?".
Sorta sad and boring.

I think the issue is that just about everyone here are Christians so when they discuss religious or spiritual topics, they talk out of their own beliefs.

This board is open to all religious and spiritual topics. It is not limited to Christianity.

If people are strong in their beliefs, they aren't likely to go researching other religions. I don't think they necessarily believe other faiths are wrong, they just don't have the information to discuss them. And Steve's right, it just happens to be that most of the people here are Christians.

Nicely put.

Because Creed has some christian lyrics, they seem to draw a christian crowd

Well i don't see you talking about other philosophies. Anything you ever come up with is 'here's a site to prove Christianity is wrong'.

You know what, Melissa, you're right. I hadn't thought about it before, but if you don't like that this is a Christian based board, then stop whining about it and put up more threads about other religions. Then, if no-one comes, ivite some other people you know to gather here. Geez. I hate it when people piss and moan instead of finding a solution!

I see absolutely no problem with that We have found the right thing for us, so why research and keep searching for others

Because researching other beliefs is the gateway to tolerance and increased wisdom. How do you plan on "saving" someone if you don't even know what they believe? Saying, "I don't even know what you believe, but I do know it's wrong" is being ignorant.

heh you're so right.
believeing in absolute right and wrong (and thinking that you are absolytly right) makes people pretty reidiculus at times.
also imposing onto others "we will save you" a la missionaries... that's just silly
