Though I do not bother to read the Osteen devotionals, nor agree with the man's theology, those who post his daily devotionals are just as entitled to do so as the dozen or so Catholic threads that pop up here on a daily basis. Do we really need a Catholic Word of the Day or Catholic Daily Mass postings? If someone new was looking at this site and went to the Religion forum threads, I suspect he would go away thinking this WAS a Catholic religion only promoting site. Is this stuff not available any other place on the net that someone feels obligated to make sure it gets put up here? I wouldn't mind if the Religion Forum was a place where we go to discuss CURRENT news that have a religious bent and I don't think I'm alone in this.

My only problem is the inability to rationally discuss once the stuff IS posted. However, I see why they have to create the devotional category “rule”.

After all, the less virtuous a people, the greater its need for laws (rules). If people can’t respectfully discuss on these threads, a rule is needed.
