As a regular or occasional visitor to this forum, what are your expectations?
You see that that there are sub forums for Atheists ( those who abhor religion, deity, and suspicious of spirituality), and Religionists (who most likely also are spiritualists)
So what will be your reasonable assumption?
If you want to know about Paganism (key word, KNOW, not criticize) and discuss stuff with others who share your interest, you would go hang out there.
Same with Atheism or any of the rest.
What will be a reasonable assumption about R&S?
That it is a forum first of all for those interested in such stuff?
(By interest meaning those who can contribute to the discussion and not merely there to argue for the Atheist pov, because what else is there to say about it other than NOT?)
That you will be expected to stay with the topic and the spirit of the discussion, agree or disagree and state your belief within the parameters of the thread?
Do you think this forum functions this way?
If not do you think it is worth the effort to make it function that way?
Do you think you will participate more if it functions as you expect it should?
Do you feel the same posters show up again and again and drive the topic only one way, to destruction?
List your suggestions for improvement, make it inviting to post?
