As the world is coming to separation into two classes – atheist and theist – is it advisable for all religions to meet up? What positive steps can be taken in this heading or how we can love god? Thanks, <gs id="e16d7900-b831-4a82-aec8-de7161310c9c" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="e4b613c8-de72-41d5-8606-74dcb4517b1a" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">Richitrakala</gs>

The relevance of this question to an art forum escapes me. I see you have a Facebook page, which contains many interesting images - you are not the spammer I first took you to be. However: I don't know how many of POL's readership are theists or atheists, but we have so far avoided the question of religion (and politics, or party politics anyway) and that's the way I hope things will stay. Most social media are crammed with superstition, pseudo-science, and other examples of humankind's extraordinary capacity for self-delusion - to the extent that Facebook in particular is almost unreadable. Arguments about religion here are likely to lead to a very similar outcome: we can wander from the point already, without yielding to more invitations to do so. If you have a religious belief, you can express it in your art: theist and atheist alike might enjoy it, without necessarily subscribing to your convictions.

Oh no no no. Art is what it's about on here. Robert is very reasoned and polite. I'll stop now or I may not be.

This is an art forum. Please go post on a religious forum. Interest nil.

I absolutely respect other people's individual religious beliefs. However, I have no time for anyone who tries to ram their beliefs down my neck. You find them in the streets, knocking at your door and now we have it on POL. Not the time or place I'm afraid, as I quite agree with Sylvia - this is an art forum and although we do have discussions about a variety of subjects, people's personal religious views are not something that should be up for debate on a public art forum.
