We now know Age Groups, How about Religion?

Kesephist, I don't think this was meant to determine the religion bias of the group. I think this was along the lines of my thread asking everyone what disaster they are specifically preparing for. It gives a much better way to determine how to respond to a person's circumstances and why they might be doing things a certain way.

For example, I was raised in a Mennonite community and they are all pacifists. So I doubt that if they prepped, it would include guns. I am no longer a believer of that discipline thankfully. My personal beliefs are complicated, and I am still rather bitter about it.

It was just a curiosity thing. I dont believe anybody here would be kicked off the forum because of their religious beliefs, unless perhaps they tried to force it down everyone elses throats, or you believed in boiling and eating babies for breakfast or something like that.
Which, is something people have thought those who believe as i do act.
I know not everyone here is either christian, catholic, or lds, because i am here, and i am none of those.
As to the "none of your business" part, you can choose not to reply, or say its none of anybodys business, so you arent going to say. Long as you arent an ass about it, no one will mind. We are pretty easy going here, realizing that we are all different, even though in ways we are all the same.

interesting... stupid... but interesting! no offence, but stupid none the less

[jamesneuen]

Which part was stupid?

[Sniper-T]

The idea that anyone here would be booted for expressing their opinion. Chastised... maybe! teased, questioned, probably... booted??? not likely! IMO

[jamesneuen]

That I can agree with

It might depend on the subject, the opinion and how it was presented... as to being banned.

As long as the topic is within the realm of a legal subject (NOT b0mb m@king, etc..), it wasnt meant to inflame a person because of race or belief, etc.. we seam to regulate ourselves pretty well.

I resigned one forum because someone made the comment they hoped that more cops would be killed (discussion on the recent ambush of LEOs). I was pretty upset by it and insisted on that (new) member being banned. They rather embraced the "free speech" instead of banning, so I left. THAT type of discussion is not appropriate IMHO.

I hope I made some sense, but I think we can have campfire discussions as adults here. Odd mix of people, but we seam to be "more mature" than other forums.

Being willing to listen to most any point of view and weight it on it's merits is a big factor in favor of this site. But we don't fool around with crap like that. Why would you ask for attention like that, for yourself or anyone else?

[Sniper-T]

EB... I know that we get our douches,,, but few and far between! seriously...

My reference was not to groups here in cyberspace. I was referring to ATSHTF, out there.
