Quote: "I read the AUP, and it states that there should be no threads about religion, and as much as I respect the AUP, I think it's possible to talk about something in a kind orderly manner, especially as it is such a massive subject around the world."
Sure it's a massive topic around the world, but it has nothing to do with games and technology. Why would TGC, a game development tools company, which to have flame-heavy sensitive threads that have nothing to do with their business sector?
Also, while it may be possible for some people to have a friendly discussion on abortion, evolution, and politics, the
majority of people who frequent these kinds of forums are not capable of doing so. It would be a nightmare for mods to have to edit, delete, and clean up posts in threads all day just because of those who can't keep it flame free.
EDIT:
I just remembered that it is possible to express your views without being so blunt. If you recall the Alien UFO thread from last week you could see where many of us stood on the topic, as well as the origin of man, but it didn't get out of hand. Expressly making a thread with a pro-evolutionary stance will be immediately locked, however.
