politics, religion, and beating children

[Zapmeister]

There's no question that religion is everybody's favourite flamewar. A while back, in the newsgroup comp.sys.ibmpc.games.strategic, some guy called Alvin started a thread entitled "Christianity and Gaming", in which he passed some comment about which games are suitable for good Christians.

It soon became by far the most popular thread in the group, and quickly lost any relevance to gaming. People just love to talk about it, anywhere and with anyone.

Personally, I would have preferred to have seen the discussion in this forum retitled to "OT: Religion, politics and beating children" (if that were possible) so that it could stay for the folks that wanted it, but the "OT" would warn off the folks that are only here for Dominions.
