The problem is not the threads; it's the software. We should be able to choose which areas show up in Latest Posts. I would like to have religion added. Then I wouldn't care if it was in General. The same is true with prayer threads. It would be nice to have them all in one place but you could choose to have them show up in Latest Posts.

Passion threads really don't belong in News.

Passion threads really don't belong in News.

If it's a sourced article, I say it's news. Maybe it's News/Editorial, but sourced articles, for the most part, should be considered "news". Maybe not Front Page. Maybe not Extended. But definitely "news".

Moving a sourced article to chat strictly because it is Passion related is biased, IMO. What other sourced articles get automatically moved to "chat"?

You seem to have a very, very, VERY

funny

definition of news.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and all the hoopla about it is one of the biggest social phenomenas to hit

TWO MAJOR areas,
TWO MAJOR institutions in our society

in a very long time:

1) MEDIA, INCLUDING FILM/MOVIE INDUSTRIES
2) CHRISTIANITY

It is in it's 3rd week and is STILL MAKING NEWS by any normal definition of NEWS most journalism courses might teach.

I realize that may not sit well with your biases.

But then your biases don't sit well with a number of the rest of us anyway.
