The premise that God shouldn't be brought up in every thread is one that can be looked at from another perspective. I understand there are places you don't expect to see it but that goes two ways. There are many seemingly innocent titled threads that wind up going non family friendly with cursing and sexual innuendo. I don't really care to see that but I guarantee a moderator has never gotten a pm from me complaining about it and I've never even complained about it in any thread I've seen it in, mainly because I've been a party to much of it in the past.
Human nature is to talk and focus on things we love. There is no way that someone who loves God can keep that to themselves. The same as those who love their family or anything else, can keep those things to themselves. This is a diverse site that is much more than just a hunting site. It almost feels like we are all a family and families talk about pretty much everything.
The mention of God has been driven or of schools, businesses and many other places so it should be no surprise that some would want to see it gone from here, too. I can't be upset or mad at anyone just because they don't believe the same thing I do or care about the things I care about.
One thing that is much worse, in my opinion, than those wanting the mention of God censored, is the self proclaimed Christians that attack anyone who says anything against God or those who admit to being non believers. How can we ever expect to win anyone to our side if we act worse than any non Christian ever would? We are called to share the gospel in love and meekness, not with a hammer and venom.
I know that some of my friends here disagree with me and I with them but I've always felt I could state my opinion and they could state theirs and we'd still be friends after.....except for Brent. He is extremely fragile and sensitive.

There are some really good responses to the original post. I have been around long enough to see that God has changed some long time members for the better. Religion has changed nobody for their permanent good but it is evident when the Holy Spirit has indwelled a man. It is also evident when someone has been hurt and is bitter because of "religious" people. I pray for healing for those hurt in this manner.

I don't post much on this site and am getting to where I don't spend as much time here......... I would have liked you better if you had just stopped there. Just kidding. In all seriousness though, who is to say your type of thinking is the majority? You say "everyone won't haw to read that crap", maybe YOU are the minority with your lack of faith. Maybe it's only you and a select few that doesn't want to read these type posts. Why should everyone change for YOU. You seem awful sure of yourself that "everyone" feels as you. What we have isn't religion. It's a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That's not something we can only have on Sundays or in certain areas of our lives. It's something we have to have, we WANT to have, if every area of our lives. If you ever experience it, and I hope and pray you do, you'll completely understand.

For the record, I don't want anything driven out of here. My point, that I didn't do a good job of making, was what if a few of the agnostics and athiests on here threw their beliefs into every post? Do we censor them but leave the Christian posts? What if there are muslims present and they post their beliefs daily? I seriously doubt there are muslims, but I know for a fact there are agnostics and athiests here.
One thing that is much worse, in my opinion, than those wanting the mention of God censored, is the self proclaimed Christians that attack anyone who says anything against God or those who admit to being non believers.

This was my point that I compared to the QDM guys. Belittling or looking down your nose to people who don't share your beliefs will never sway someone to your side or make them agree with you.

I know there are atheist and agnostics too, and I agree with you. I think if you can state your opinion in a respectful manner you shouldn't have to put up with a bunch of venomous crap just because the other side doesn't agree. I also think they should have just as much right to state their beliefs as I have to state mine. Sometimes I think we all just need to relax and not get so bent out of shape just because some people say things we don't like. I'm speaking of myself here too.

I somewhat understand where the OP is coming from, although he could have worded it differently. I love this place, but there is more bigotry on this forum than you can shake a stick at. Look, I promise y'all that my thinking is way more in line with what the majority of everyone here thinks/feels. But please don't ask for a prayer and then call someone a nonswimmer, It's beyond stupid. They don't (and won't) get it.

But please don't ask for a prayer and then call someone a nonswimmer, It's beyond stupid. Bingo. You want to talk about a sensitive topic. I brought it up once and was quickly shot down and told I was wrong there are no bigots on here just people telling it like it is. I'm worse than anybody I'll be the first to admit but I also don't go around flaunting how great of a Christian I am (because I know that I'm not I'm a sinner with the best of them but isn't that the point?). Anyways it's all about how it comes across...many on here like to throw it in your face like holier than thou and that obviously rubs some folks the wrong way. I will pray for those folks that like to do that (see how that sounds? Theres quite a few already done that on this thread)

In a way, I agree with rackdisaster and beadlescomb. Religion doesn't have to be brought up in many of the threads in which it's brought up. It only turns people against religion much the way a select few people on here feel like they have to shove their QDM views down everyone's throats whenever a member on here shoots a young buck. I'm in a club that only shoots bucks that are 4+ years old, but I'm happy for anyone that kills a legal deer they are proud of. When the peckerheads jump on them about killing a young deer or ask "why didn't you just shoot a doe?" it makes me wish everyone would shoot a spike. By the way, this does not mean that when every topic is turned to religion that I wish Satan would win. Tndeer went through a lot of this stuff years ago because that site grew quicker than this one. A religion forum would be a nightmare.
Also, it's not as easy as "just don't click on it". When you click on a thread titled "Look at my arrowhead collection" you really aren't expecting to read a debate about scientists and archaeologists trying to fool people into thinking the earth is millions of years old. Couldn't have said it better myself
