Experience has sadly shown such discussions to be divisive and destructive, and to consume a lot of moderator energy.
They don't add anything to the work of maemo. Where religion is relevant to maemo, it's allowed without problem - there are threads about Bible, Quran and prayer apps in appropriate forums. Just debating religion 'for fun' tends to divide rather than unite the community and affords no benefit.
Ultimately, why do you want to talk about it here? There are plenty of places on the net where you can have such debates, some purpose built for it. The purpose of this place is to do stuff for maemo. We don't need an Off Topic forum at all - it's a bit of an indulgence. Why push that boundary?

1. No one is policing anyone's thoughts here.
2. I believe everyone has agreed to the terms and condition of the forum when they signed up for an account here.
3. It's a maemo forum for crying out loud. Why bother fighting for the right to do something that has nothing to do with the forum's spirit and has no clear benefit to the community here.
4. There's enough junks generated by the fightin 'platform fanboys'. I hope I don't have to contend with reading junks generated by (anti)religious fanatics too.
I am a Nokian I'm almost sure

Can't they afford the server costs?

Seriously, ignoring dumb rules is an American tradition from time immemorial.
US of A, pr0n central with more pr0n produced per year than any other country. No even Denmark can compete.
At the same time, THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN, with an erect penis being the most harmful thing there is to see for a child. The same child that has seen thousands of brutal killings on the news or in films. The same child that would, surely, die if it was to hear one of those naughty four letter words that get bleeped.
This is so ******ed it hurts. Protecting children from the language they, themselves, use at school and while playing with friends? Parents, and "concerned citizens", standing up for "morals" while the preachers snort drugs and get slambanged by rent boys.
Oh, yes, only in the US of A.
And yes, I'm prejudiced.

No problem, I subscribed and accepted terms and condition, just wanted to write what I think.
In a democracy, if the major part of peoples will share my view, the forum will accept religious discussion.
But, I'm sure that polling about it will result in the major part against them.
The weird thingh is that having two ideas and polling for them is so damn political LOL
Cheers
Niko
