I am not interested at this moment in time about who said what to who and who's causing trouble and how to avoid it etc.

Again. I am well aware of the history of this forum. I am not new. My concerns are valid and justified.

Again, I ask this: That there be a rule put in place that if people make any posts that are {{{{NOT}}}} about religion (and mine rarely are), but if something that is "perceived" as being religious is stated to support what ever belief I have, that the thread is answered "directly", and in context, and that religious debates are not instigated, because it's distracting.

The MOMENT someone acknowledges what I am asking, I will fall off my chair and say: "Yes! Yes! Someone GETS ME!".

Anyone can reply that "I am allowed to talk about Jesus", but that's beside the whole point. I didn't COME here to make threads about Jesus. I didn't COME here to write about the Bible. I came here to participate in the forum with my views and understandings about the world.

If I make a post about what happened to me when I was "x" years old and that at some point it correlates with something I read in the Bible, I do NOT want the first response to be about how the Bible is just a storybook and that I should be reading about Buddha. All I want is for people to read my thread IN CONTEXT and reply IN CONTEXT, about the childhood experience.

Even if (for argument sake) there is NO HANGUP around here, towards peole who make Biblical references - there can then be NO harm on making a rule that threads are to be kept in context and that responses should never be made that IGNORE the thread and incite religious dissidence, because MY POSTS WILL CAUSE THOSE RESPONSES due to the nature of my knowledge and understanding.

I CANNOT post my serious and full views on this forum unless I am afforded fair and just accommodation. I am not saying anyone should agree with me. But I find it HIGHLY distracting that if I "mention" the Bible, a big speculation starts about "religion" and I have to start flapping my arms, telling people that I am not religious so that the thread can continue. Meanwhile 3 pages have passed and it has NOTHING to do with my original post.

What I am asking fro is fair and will be beneficial for the forum.
