So. Are you going to post your paper when it’s finished?

[gorush]

I am...but don’t hold your breath. :{)

I'd like to know what percentage of religious threads ultimately devolve into UFOs and ET Squared.

ET Squared, for the unaware, is the involvement of Extra Terrestrials in End Times prophecy. For more on ET Squared, check out this religious post that got more than 60 replies, even though it was mistakenly not posted in the Religious Forum:

Farrakhan's Nation of Islam to Argue UFOs Are Real

Wasn’t she delivered?

Didn’t she become an authentic Christian?

[Publius6961]

Since I ignore religious threads like the plague unless they are actually part of a news story, I wouldn't know.
I understand that there is a religion forum here; Too bad its use is not universal.

Oh, now. You were all calmed down and here you are with your knickers in a twist again. I hope you had a relaxing Saturday otherwise.

Don't know. Originally I thought it was New Age garbage, even though I enjoyed the music. Now it seems she has been delivered and the works is not a mockery of The Magificat but an "expansion" (my word) of it.

FWIW I am not a Catholic so I have very little knowledge of the subject.

Still enjoy the music though.

Sorry for the grammar..sigh. I’m getting ready to go to work and have to type fast.

I think that these stupid “devotional” posts with that phony Joel Osteen should be banned.

[I still care]

You know, I bet if you actually TITLED a thread “Catholic vs. Presbyterian Cage Match”, you’d get more than thirty posts.

[gorush]

Maybe I assume bandwidth to be more valuable than it is, but I agree.

[buccaneer81]

Sadly, the Religion Mod would probably take it down.

[Raider Sam]

A very low number

[scottteng]

I made the mistake of posting an opinion on one of those once! Religious folks are even more my way or the hwy than conservatives !

[LtKerst]

I think Creation vs evolution is a religious post...
I saw one that was hundreds of replys...

[gorush]

With the info available on this thread, it looks like the answer is around 14 relpys/religios thread. Thanks for all of the input.

[RegulatorCountry]

Now, in order to determine statistical significance, if any, I highly suggest you apply your National Geographic magnifying glass to responses on Free Republic as a whole.

What is the average for that whole, compared to the subset? Is there a meaningful variation between the two? Would you deem the entire forum unnecessary if it fails to meet some arbitrary measure of success as defined by ... whom? You?

[Raider Sam]

What Ive seen quite a bit of is someone trying to get people out of certain religions or sects without mentioning a religion to actually go to. It seems more focused on getting people out of what you dont like as opposed to getting people into the one they do like.

The sometimes-raucous donneybrook known as the FR Religion Forum sounds like freedom to me, gorush. With religious speech being increasingly censored and removed from the public square, it absolutely does belong on a Constitutional Conservative site such as FR. This isn't some glass ant farm constructed for the benefit and marketing of Republicans, it's much larger than that. In many ways it's a refuge, a last best hope. Too bad many Republicans don't get it. At least some do, unlike Democrats.
