Yeah same here, if you count all the "off topic" posts of this whole thread, I would say only 5% would constitute "off topic".
It just seems to me that when you talk about religion, people tend to get uncomfortable. Don't really know why.... it's just another "topic" to me. I'm a Christian, but when I hear TBS talks about Islam, I'm actually interested in what he's about.
You don't get it. Religion is a controversial and personal topic. Just because you believe in it does n't make it ok to talk about it especially in a basketball forum. You can talk your little head off in the General discussion board. No problem. I am sure that if I started making fun of your beliefs in this forum you would be upset about it. I find people thinking that God cares one bit about who the Jazz drafted pretty ridiculous. However, if you think there is divine intervention regarding the Jazz draft choices then more power to you. I just don't want to hear about it. The Jazz forum is to talk about basketball and yes there are many people who go off topic but there are a few topics that are lighting rods for offending people. Religion, Politics and Sex are probably the top 3.
