Since I don't profess Christianity, I guess I'll post this thread in the non-Christian forum.
I can understand why we'd want to have a Non-Christian Discussion forumand a Christian (I'm guessing it has to do with the demographics of Canadian Content so as to prevent Christians from overwhelming the non-Christians in religious discussions. but sometimes it might be enjoyable to exchange ideas with Christians and non-Christians alike.
So might I recommend changing the name of the Non-Christian Discussion forum to simply "Faith Forum". Faith is more openly defined than Religion, thus making more people feel welcome. Also, I don't believe that this would necessarily cause Christians to overwhelm the forum since they'd also have the Christian forum just below this one. Thus when Christians are discussing issues which really do pertain uniquely to Christianity, then they could post it in the Christian forum. Otherwise, for those Christian topics which could also be of interest to the rest of us, they could simply post them in the "Faith Forum". Thus the forum wouldn't seem so segregated as having a non-Christian forum which just seems to push Christians away.
Your thoughts? Should we change the name of this forum from "non-Christian Discussions" to "Faith Forum"?
