When I read that a majority of Wazuans were against 'religious threads' that are about war and stone throwing, I decided to see what the non religious threads were about, and I saw no difference whatsoever.
But there was an eerie feeling in this realization. At least one thing about the 'non religious' thread is that one gets the feeling that few lose their sleep over what they are going to say.
At least, if @murchr's wishes are granted, we risk ending in a fool's paradise. But interestingly, what he says about how religion has turned as into fools isn't without truth.
Let me give an example. A few threads ago, @AlphDoti himself went and unearthed a thread that I was most reticent to unearth, about defending the Bible. Many will remember how some came and opposed the idea of defending the Bible. I was happy, that even @Mukiri had seen the fallacy of such a defense. But alas, now I find the Koran in need of defense, and the attackers are those who expressed their aversion to defending their Scripture. I only thought we'd wish the same thing for our neighbors as we wish for ourselves. But no. A whole battalion came apounding. Such contradictions should be food for our thoughts.

Just see how this logic flows, Wazua admin. And you want to 'assist' it? It heaps with ease bucket loads of shame on the 'attackers' heads without letting the 'attacked' off the hook. This contradiction, the insanity yet togetherness of these highlighted 'attackers' and the 'attacked' can be isolated and contained without affecting the rest of the community. They both don't answer and respond to what matters but surprisingly have adequate time and means to take readers on wild geese chases. Thoughts need food but certainly not these junk ones.

Yes - people should use this functionality wakiumwa sana. I am with @Mukiri on this one. If you do not want to read religious topics then why open and comment on them? I have started posts that never get commented on and I never complain coz I accept that it is not my right to have wazuans commenting. I also have posts that I never comment on coz they do not interest me. That does not give me the right to run to mama to tell her that those posts are offending me and thus should be pulled down. That is just the way it is. @Muchr. Stop being self-centred and arrogant. The world was not made to please you alone. WHO DARES WINS

Any God that needs humanity to defend it is no god. What is it with people defending Holy books?
Hey, what do i/we know?

Lets ask them questions that will help us learn. Ignorance is no defense. If a terrorist held me up somewhere and asked me islamic questions, I'd want to say that @AlphDoti and @Guru helped me out. PS: Please help us by keeping a leash on your minion  He doesn't handle rejection very well
