I don't really think one board can handle the debunking of every crazy bit of non-critical thinking in the world. It would become way too large and impossible to manage or navigate through.

Discussions of religions often lead to anger and hurt and are very difficult to discuss, probably because so much of it is part of our daily lives.

In any case, it's against the rules of this board.
