This is a thread about the dozens of religion threads and thousands of comments that have essentially dominated the front page all semester. This meta-argument (as in, across many threads) has dominated in terms of "pawpular" threads and in terms of comments posted. I am in particular annoyed by how it dominates not just the discussion section, but also the news section. It doesn't seem like "news" to just have a long-running multi-thread debate every now and then leak over into the News category instead of the Discussion category. Apparently this subject alone will generate thousands of posts on myUMBC.

This is not a thread to discuss religion itself. Comments are open for now. If this thread is hijacked into yet another religion debate, it will be locked.

If one does not like their front page dominated by religion arguments, post potential suggestions, such as content filters or thread downvotes (as opposed to comment downvotes, which will still put the thread as "pawpular" for your front page).

If one does like the arguments, please defend your answer. "Free speech" is not necessarily an acceptable defense because any particular message board does not necessarily have to defend your right to say whatever you want. Plenty restrict subject matter. Free speech applies to the Internet when taken as a whole, not any particular website.
