Okay lets stop talking about religion for a while cuz there is a lot of debating with that and fighting will occur. I think that we should talk more about issues that are affecting us right now.

That's a good idea. We just need to respect eachother. The most prominent issues right now (at least those on the news most and stuff) have to do with religion, and this prompts all of these discussions which are getting us riled up.
In my opinion, religion is an unavoidable issue. I think everyone has a right to believe anything they wish. But just as it is in the world, it brings up conflict here.
Ignorance of other peoples' religions is a huge problem. I was raised in a way that taught me to believe in anything I want to... as a UU, I believe in everything and nothing. It makes no sense. What I really want is an understanding of other religions. Not a belief in, not a conversion, an understanding.
Perhaps we shouldn't avoid the subject. If others want to, okay! But we'd probably function best as a discussion group if we had more of an understanding of where each of us is coming from.

I think you're right-- religion is one of the "hottest" topics around, and doesn't need to be glossed over; but let's branch out, at least. Somebody's started a topic about why so many teens are having sex. . . good question, let's hash that one out!
