While the discussion seem to be about religion, to me it is really between open and close minded views of things. I feel that so many people have a “religious” attitude toward facts of life that makes them blind to the actual facts. I put religious in quotation because it is not just about god, it is believing in something just because you choose to believe in it, and expect that everyone else do the same. This is the attitude of Christians who believe their ideas to be superior, or the leftist who believe there is no gender distinction, or the military people who thing they have all the answers for what is going to come.
I really believe that when SHTF, a very open mind will be needed to survive. A mind that can accept others as fellow survivors, that see others as assets, that can adapt to new situations quickly. People who will anchor themselves to their beliefs will have hard times because things will not go as planned and adaptability will be the winning resource.
So, do discussion about religion belong on the forum? I think so as long as they are kept withing civil limits and respectful of each others. I started reading this thread to learn about “New Age” beliefs. Learn, not judge.
