Sometimes the things worth discussing are integral to the thread itself as much as the news article.
But, oh well. In the future, I'll avoid threads with "(prayer request)" in them as threads being inappropriate for actual debate. But the next question is... if I post a new thread with, say, "(science request)" in the topic, can we call down the wrath of the moderators on those who sully it with discussion or religion? Hmmmmm....
