Do we need more contributors?

And non-religious types never getting into flaming wars?

No, but in that flamewar they are just trolls. The religious people usually are not trolls, but are easy to troll. The mix of the two can have nastier effects than what currently is shown around here..

(not that i am proposing anything, my previous post was in a lighthearted tone; i don't own the forum anyway etc).

As an online discussion on religion grows longer, the probability of all people involved being jerks approaches 1?

That does seem to be the way of things.

 

[ParkCungHee]

I disagree. It seems to skew one way or the other. As the length of an online discussion about religion increases, the probability of everyone being jerks approaches 0 or 1 unerringly. Either you get people talking about the flying spaghetti monster and warning people about hell, or your get a polite, arcane discussion about the state of Iconography in Greek Catholic churches.

For better or worse this place always asks for more CivFanatics.

This. First make sure they can beat the game on immortal. Then let them come....

No you have 11 thousand post and you are junior mod thats higher then Diety...

 

[warpus]

Bible study group? Nah, that'd be boring and annoying.

Invite 50 world travellers, 50 scientists, or 50 kung fu black belts.

I only play against Humans - definitely not Diety-worthy

Or, better yet, 50 world-travelling black-belt scientists.

 

[El_Machinae]

As long as one of them is Dr. Tran.

^Those guys are are wearing yellow belts.

@OP: 50 people is a fraction of your Bible Study group? That's one big Bible Study group.

I say invite them. The more the merrier. Will they make 50 significantly different versions of pro-Christian arguments?

But, yeah, they gotta at least play Civ first.

You know what? Dibs on the abortion discussion. Y'all can just follow my lead.

Nevar!

 

[Traitorfish]

+all the points

I bet I could coax 50 or so to be regular contributors

I'm extremely skeptical you could even convince five to register and actively participate, let alone fifty.

Can you blame him? I'd be communist too if my dad had such a striking resemblance to Karl Marx.

^Love the little Biblical in-joke in that tweet.

 

[bhsup]

I am that I am! I didn't even catch that initially. I wonder if it was intentional, or if it was just intended to emphasize conservativeness.

 

[History_Buff]

Do not do this.

Oh yeah, do it if it means this thread gets bumped

I recant, bring them.
