That does seem like a self destructive move, don't you think? Where I to be a founder of a religious forum, I would want it to be a basis of informing people of the religion’s beliefs, and hopefully converting them, wouldn't you?
Not many people are going to be inspired to change their beliefs by casually reading over debates by other people in the theology forum.
When I watch the presidential debates for example, I look for the candidate to answer
myyy questions, not target people within their own party to ensure they don’t lose the funding.
It is for that reason, I believe, that voter turnout has such gaps in it
If I don't know what you will do for me, why give you my vote?
If I can't understand your religion, why give you my soul?
