Forum Guidelines

Basically this is a pretty unstructured forum.

- Discussion of any religion or god is permitted here.
- If you try to prove or disprove a religion, or religious point, please back it up with some sort of evidence, such as Holy Scripture or confirmed historical event, etc.
- No insulting or belittling people because of their religious beliefs"

To the other moderators, feel free to add to this thread. I'll leave it open for other members to post in.

If you're going to disprove a religion, wouldnt using Holy Scripture defeat the purpose?
Just because one religion says another doesnt exist, then it doesnt?

Well, the Torah/Q'uran/Bible accepts the fact that other religions exist, as do other gods, but just says that you're not allowed to practice them or worship them (respectively...ehh..you get it).  I'm not too sure about other religions, but there you go.

I'd add "No insulting or belittling people because of their religious beliefs".  Keep this forum clean from insults, please.

Exactly. 

Joe, that should be the fundemental rule of this forum.  I'd say punishment from violating this rule should be executed harshly: ie, restricting posting/reading abilities from someone who does not follow it.

No, said religions exist in full.  Other religions just state that they're false.

Thank you, AntiVirus. Good idea.

For the holy scriptures, it was more of proving religions (IE, fulfilled prophecies), but also a horrible contradiction would be disproving. For example, if men and angels were created in God's perfect image, and Satan was an evil angel who was created, where did sin come from? Of course, there's a counter-point too. We were never forced to follow God, and were all given free will. The angels, however, knew about the posibility of going against God and men didn't, so the angels had to sin first.
