Religion Debate? Posted: 10-15-06 11:03am


Since a lot of topics in the abortion forum turn into religious debates, a formal religion debate might be a good place to let off some steam. What you do you think?

I kind of agree, but then I kind of don't. I agree because I think the knuckle-heads who engage to religious debates should have a place to whine at one another...But on the other hand, what does religion have to do with health? There's countless religion debate boards out there, so why bring one here? I would suggest placing a sticky topic in the abortion debate forum providing links to religious sites, particularly ones where bickering is advocated. Then people can contact the mods with suggestions for links.

I agree, I think it's a great idea. Ok so it's not directly linked to the human body health wise but I think it's certainly pertinent to the spiritual and mental health of an individual.

what does dating have to do with health?
What do widows and widowers have to do with health?
What does being single and unhappy have to do with health?
Yet we have sub forums for all these things

actually it has alot to do with health. On all of those topics it revolves to stress and depression and and etc. I agree with all of you.

yes but going along the lines of cambions post then we should really limit the above forums to the depression forum not give them forums all to themselves when the result is the same for all causes if you kwim

I think that if you want to have a place on here to take religiously oriented debates, then that's dandy. If someone were to find it offensive or not in line with "ehealth concepts" then they certainly don't have to post on it. I pretty strongly believe that spiritual beliefs have a direct correlation with someone's physical health, but that's just me. :d

Sorry it took so long to respond. Yes, we might consider such a forum or host a chat site about religion, but it might be outside of the ehealthforum domain. We'll be revising the abortion forum to become strictly medical...These changes will help eliminate debate and get the debate into the proper channels. Thanks for your ideas and keep them comin'! -admin

Thanks very much for the suggestion. However, creating a religious forum is not stated in our mission. Our mission statement follows... "ehealthforum exists to preserve and improve human life by bringing health-related information to all people via the internet. We are an online community that connects people of all national, religious, and cultural backgrounds (over the age of 13) who share medical concerns. Our forums are designed to give people a place to express themselves, connect with others, and help those who are dealing with medical issues; a place to find comfort, understanding and information." religious debate creates division, rather than unity. We'd like to promote our one-ness, rather than differences. If you have issue with a particular forum, please send us a private message or user comment form to outline your concerns. -admin

And the euthanasia, abortion, and homosexuality debate forums are different because...?

Hmm. I see your point, Birch. I think we are going to have to give this another look. It's just that a religion debate could be so explosive, in comparison with the other debates we've set up. People tend to want to die for religion...not so much for the medical use of marijuana. You know?

I understand, but abortion is the same way, and we are adults. I've learned many things in the thick of debates on sensitive subjects. Plus, ehealth seems to have a remarkable team of "advanced support staff" available to police the forums. I would encourage you to give it shot, see how it goes.

thanks!
