Do Polls with Religous Tones belong on this Website?

While I'm one who loves to debate religion and politics, I'm concerned about the introduction of this topic on Pelican Parts. What's your opinion?

Based on your comments in the other thread, it is apparent you are new to PPOT. Anything goes here. If you want to stay focused on Porsche discussions, stay in the tech forums.

I think you have the right to not read them if they get you so bent out of shape.

This IS off-topic ya' know. . .

There is no separation of church and state and the OT board. If there is a subject posted, that you don't care about, or do not want to view, then don't.

Doesn't this poll technically have religious tones?

Exactly...is it in-appropriate? What if I were to start a thread about "black power or Nazis"? Appropriate?

I find the "trolling for some prostheletizing" type threads lame & don't participate much in those. It's the old " if you don't like it, don't click on it."

We had a whole big thing about God, and Evolution, whether or not it was appropriate that FastPat got banned, it has been done to death, we have an atheist fluffer who is a pediatrictian for cryin' out loud, what more do you want?

This is called the off-topic section. It has rules, guidelines, etc which are set forth and enforced by the moderators, not by you or me or any poll.
We don't run this place, we are visitors.

This descendant of a monkey only cares what WAYNE thinks is appropriate.

A church is a house of God, Pelican Parts BBS is the House Of Wayne.

You won't have to wait for the "afterlife" to find out what Wayne thinks, he posts here pretty regularly. Hell, he even has a thread where he admits he was wrong, and is very humble about it.

Come to think of it, he too, has sent his word to the scribes, and it was printed. Not in stone mind you.................

So give it a shot, don't let fear and common sense hold you back.
