Dear Dr. Shades :-) Board Business

Post by Atlanticmike »

Since the board is called Discussing Mormonism, is there any way we could get a forum to talk about Mormonism and other religions without having posters like Lem, Doc cam and a handful of others crapping all over other people's religious beliefs? You know, a place that is actually positive and uplifting.

Join Mormon Dialogue & Discussion. This isn’t the board to discuss positive Mormon thought.

That sounds like a safe space. Safe spaces stifle free speech in the name of avoiding "triggering." You're not being triggered by ceeboo and lem, right?

So do moderators. Go try MD&D for a while.

Oh that board is absolutely a safe space. You can't question Mormonism there at all without couching it and pretending to be a questioning believer.

Ideas should always fight it out in a free space, with as few rules as possible. The fact Mormon ideas need shelter is revealing.

Celestial is the place for completely civil and respectful discussion. This board already has that space and that space is clearly labeled as such.

This thread is not necessary at all.

Honest question. Are there any positive religious threads on this board?
