Dear Members ,
From now on we are putting a stop to any religion related topics on Golpo.Net. The answers to the most probable questions about this decision are provided below.
Q. What do you mean by debating on religion ?
A. The presentation of any particular ideas “for or against” religion or a series of logic and counter logic which can any way be related to any particular religion or religions in general.
Q. Why religious debate is being banned ?
A.
• Golpo.net is trying to ensure a friendly environment where people of all religions can post.
• Golpo.net has members from many beliefs. So, some members could feel uneasy when a debate on religion is going on at which they cant participate or share their opinions.
• Golpo.net is a promised place to ensure a friendly environment.
• Religious debate can cause people feel upset and insulted, when someone is presenting any information against his/her religion. And it is not in our intention to upset anyone.
• Religion is a matter of belief, not debating.
Q. Is this a move against freedom of speech?
A. No. Golpo.net is never against freedom of speech. But only to maintain a better and friendlier environment, this decision had been taken.
Q. What should members do ?
A.
# Plz try to use examples, facts and fiegures while debating
# You should quote from religious books, only to make a statement or explaining only your stand and beliefs. But not as a part of debate or arguement.
# Religious topics may only exists for information basis. But not as a topic where a debate is possible. Example : Threads like "5 Pillars of Islam" or "Mary Christmas" ... but never as " debate on jihad " or " should we bury or burn "
Your co-operation is requested.
