I would request the RM lock this thread so that our positions remain until judgment day or the hard drive crashes; whichever comes first

Oh brilliant! Lock this one so that we can continue on another one — this is a Forum for discussions; if people want to continue a discussion, why lock it? Anyone is free to come or leave as he/she pleases. When there are no more interested individuals to engage in a discussion, the thread will die a natural death; no need to kill it.

Besides, what difference does it make if we continue to beat the same dead horse on one or a dozen threads in succession?

I urge the Religion Moderator to leave this discussion until its flames have extinguished themselves naturally.

I have been watching this thread from time to time and must say as how impressed I've been at its staying power...and usually polite discussion (at least at the moments I've checked on it.)

Applause.

Of course, I have decided to subscribe to the Titus 3:9 club, which means all I will do is watch and be amazed...

Second that. Why lock it? I'd be happy to defend my posts here till kingdom come.

As many will testify around here these discussions will continue. The reason for locking these threads is simply because it is becoming rather unwieldy. Frankly, I think the discussions have been rather civil compared to many that often take place. But it is becoming rather large and I certainly have lost track of the many discussions that have taken place.

I should hasten to add and regret to admit that my "brilliance" isn't my own. Skimming through I found the following people agreeing the thread should be lock:

Kolokotronis.....4591
Blue-Duncan......4590
Stripes1776......4605
Xzins............4603
AlbionGirl.......????
Dr. Eckleburg....????
Kosta50..........4607

I believe Dr. E in one of her post recommended that I be the one to request the moderator lock the thread which is what I was doing per the advice of the moderator. After all this was your recommendation as well.
