re: So what would be the rules/guidelines of a Religion & Philosophy Board?

Also there was never a board dedicated to discussing Facebook issues, that's not the case for religious threads which had a home on the Poliboard (the caption of which specifically mentioned religious topics).

Facebook issues have a home on the OT, much like religious threads had a home on Political Talk. I wouldn't say Political Talk was a dedicated board to discuss religion, but it was certainly a home. In fact, prior to the recent flurry of policy changes, religious threads were permitted to be posted on either Political Talk or the OT.

I certainly don't think health/fitness topics deserve a dedicated board, nor a board solely for science. I do believe a technology board would be more than warranted.

And it's not that I'm completely antagonized to a religion board. But you have to stop and think - why is this discussion taking place now? Religion threads had thrived for years on Political Talk. The operators of the site decided on a policy change, which ultimately proved to be a bad move. Then, they made another one. And now, because of those changes, instead of reverting back to what was working for years, the answer suddenly seems to be the installation of another board.

It simply seems like a capricious, irrational solution to a manufactured problem.
