May be it's because of too much work and I like to spend most of my leisure time on watching sports or discussing sports on sports board. Or may be there's simply not much interest remaining in religion for me or the topics here are getting repeated. I know CoolJGS☺ has also kind of lost interest on this religion (even if he probably posts on religion board at reddit). Has anyone else lost interest in RFS?

For one thing, very few of the topics on here even have to do with religion.

That's why I tend to go back and fourth between this one and the Movie Board. I really prefer the old IMDB board.

For one thing, very few of the topics on here even have to do with religion. Well, it is the Religion, Faith and Spirituality, so it seems to me that something that relates to having faith would be a legitimate topic...wouldn't it? IS it limited to faith in religious/spiritual things?
But if not...what is there to discuss about Religion and Spirituality? Any interesting topics? Or is that what you're saying...nothing else to talk about.

I kind of understand why they don't do it like the old IMDB board...i.e. have it 'by movie' but without that, it's kind of hard to find others who are interested in a given movie. Often, on the old IMDB board, after I watched a new movie, I'd come on IMDB and see if I was supposed to have like it or not. Not really, but it was interesting to discuss the movie with others who had seen it and were interested in it.

Boards are only as good as the number of participants or the variety of thought.
Politics Board, which while repetitive, is at least fast paced.
This board is dead by comparison.
I pretty much switch over to Reddit for religious stuff because the board is huge. It's still largely a bunch of atheists whining about religion or turning it into a fake philosophical quandary of heavy rocks being lifted, but there are some original spins on topics and having nearly 60,000 people in that group means it never gets too terribly personal.

The only thing that kept the old board active was the childish bickering. This board is moderated and the worst "offenders" were banned.
There are some nice people on here.

Not only do a lot of the topics have nothing to do with religion, but, also nothing to do with faith or spirituality at all.

Not only do a lot of the topics have nothing to do with religion, but, also nothing to do with faith or spirituality at all. ...in your Catholic opinion, so that narrows the field considerably!

FYI Goz, I'm actually interested in a lot of world religions. A lot of what's posted on here, has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of religion in any way.

What do you object to that is posted on here if you are very broad minded about 'religion faith and spirituality'?

I agree, however that is a facetious once only post. To what general category are you referring when you say there are 'many'...or 'very few'?

That was a light hearted, facetious posting only very vaguely related to religion. It's rather hard to come up with something new when there's only a small handful of posters actively posting. Admin had tried lifting the ban on some of the banned people back about a year ago, but they either never came back or ended up getting banned again.

Not as bad as this board: moviechat.org/bd0000108/Religion-Faith-and-Spirituality

I would like to see mslo unbanned. I certainly don't agree with him a lot, and yes he was a covid denier, but he's had a month timeout. If he can behave, why not let him back? As far as I know this was his first ban.

As far as I know this was his first ban. Do you know what he was banned for? He said a lot of dumb right wing shit, but usually it was just mainstream neoconservative Christian fundamentalist nonsense, no worse than what I would hear on Fox News. Or did he let something really bad slip? ("You ever notice how there's a lot of jews in the media...")
