Agreed! But it's not difficult to distinguish between the mere profession of faith, to which no one objects, and the obvious disruption of a discussion which was not intended for the religion forum.

I'm delighted that this is under consideration. Please trust me in this -- because I know the crevo threads very well -- it would be an enormous help. There are fewer than a dozen disruptive regulars. They don't discuss science. Well, they discuss it by routinely declaring that it's all fraud, that it leads to Hitler, to homosexuality, etc. Very easy to spot. A few well-placed "Stay off this thread!" posts from the mods would be a blessing!
Establish a science category, and much of this repetitive nonsense from both sides will fade away.
If discussions of science are within the category of News/Activism, then where would a post regarding Christianity versus Islam and how it is impacting politics and war be categorized? In religion or News/Activism?
All logic points to isolating these discussions the same way blogs and personal and chat and religion has been. This topic is too devisive and is not pertinent nor even connected to conservatives winning and maintaining The House, The Senate, The WOT, Iraq, defeating liberalism, lowering taxes, reducing government, etc., all of which are the primary conservative activism issues.
The definition of insanity is trying to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. That is what we have been doing here for 7+ years on this issue, and I believe it is time for a change.
