This will get better once Ken has more categories set up, Lois. Right now, we are operating with just one section for admin and help stuff, and one section (the lounge/coffee bar) which has everything else, and the reminiscences, which is for our old time stories.I'd rather see it have its own heading. I go to chit chat and all I see are games. It is a turn off for me. While I like games, I don't play here.
Bring back our games.
I could never understand why in the faith and religion section, that the atheist thread was a pinned or sticky post. It seemed like it was an invitation for arguments and kept posters away.
The atheists kept jumping into any religious discussion and disrupting it, so that it could not easily be continued because the atheists kept wanting to throw in evolution and not believing in God, and stuff like that. It invariably took the thread off-topic because people kept being attacked for their beliefs, and would derail every discussion.It must not have been popular. I don't remember ever seeing it.![]()

Since we are starting out new, why not eliminate the Atheist side all together? If the need arises in the future, we can pray about it.The atheists kept jumping into any religious discussion and disrupting it, so that it could not easily be continued because the atheists kept wanting to throw in evolution and not believing in God, and stuff like that.

It happened every time.
So, finally, Ken made a separate area where the atheists could talk about their beliefs and let Christians discuss ours without interruptions. As you noticed, they didn’t actually want to have those discussions themselves, they wanted to interrupt any discussion about God or the Bible.
