^Probably because it is already 118 pages long . That being said, the mods do stop in every few days to make sure everyone is being "nice and friendly" and to encourage some posters to start new threads (or look up old threads with similar topics). SO, it's not like there is no "overseer", its just a little hard to moderate such a long thread.
That being said, technically no one should post in this thread if they are simply going to deride religion or if they are going to talk about atheism (hmm, I wonder if my talk of agnosticism would follow under the same rules), etc. But, as you can see, these types of posts make up a nice size minority of all the posts on this thread... |

That is why the other thread popped up. to discuss the details and such... Since Xris clearly made it that this was more about if you are religious or not than discussing the beliefs themselves.... For those not clear about that, and don't know about it, here is the thread. Varieties of Theism: Monotheism, Polytheism, Deism, Pantheism, and More

I thought this thread was to highlight various religions that people may hold here and to discuss, compare, contrast, etc.
The more philosophical debate on belief systems in general--including questioning them--should belong in the Varieties of Theism: Monotheism, Polytheism, Deism, Pantheism, and More |

Well, that's entirely human in moments of frailty. I think there is more than one scientific study in that respect. (about why do people psyche turn weaker during moments of high stress and show a greater tendency to turn to something at least apparently firm, in this case religion), coupled with stories about 'seeing the light' and whatnot. I guess Pascal's wager turns out to be more attractive during those moments.
