This isn't a debate thread! People have turned it into one. But you want to debate here ok lets have at it. Lets debate.
There is a God. I don't need tangible proof. Why do you? Discuss.
My post was not about the existence or nonexistence of God at all, it's about posting scripture in the context of an internet debate subforum.
And your sort of assertion on not requiring tangible proof in order to believe in a God defies all manner of logic, hence why it's not really a debate.
Believe what you want, but understand that there's a great deal of other religious beliefs, along with atheism, that make claims that contradict one another, and since religion or lack thereof is mostly a personal issue, don't be surprised if you get a lot of very emotional backlash on the internet.
Since there's a lot of very colorful representation of these sort of viewpoints on the internet, it would be courteous, tolerant, and respectful if you would consider supporting a sticky thread for scripture posting, rather than committing all sorts of inflammatory and rude gestures and then claiming some kind of hateful persecution.

A strong yes to this.
A forum where spam\flame against ones religion or relgious discussion is not aloud.
Discussion\arguments go in politcal\relgious debate\discussion sub forum.
The other sub forum like you said could be for the things you want, without an persecutors, etc.
I love this, even though im not religious, I back it 100%.
Anything can be perceived as persecution or intolerance, even if you're agreeing with somebody in an offhand way.
The onus is clearly on the thin-skinned people.
I need not apologize for my viewpoints.
