It ran it's course? As written in the rules you agreed to when you joined, posts of religious basis are not permitted. We let that one run; apparently the mod felt it was done. It's painfully obvious that the thread was about to take a turn for the worst, the reason those topics don't really belong here. I have no problem at all with people professing, but there is a fine line between that and preaching.
This is not an anti-religious board or group of people by any stretch, however, the site is not about religious discussions. Seems we should have stuck closer to the rules.
Hint...
When a thread is closed, opening a new one of the same topic is not recommended.
