The Questions of How and Why

[Vladimir]

I think the main problem is not religion or relgious people, neither is it people of no religion. The problem seems to arise most when we get people making very contentious posts and displaying that they have very little understanding of the subject they are introducing and no understanding at all of the position they are taking on the subject.
The recent examples demonstrate it well, we have someone that used to post very contraversial topics and claim to be a religious person of what can only be described as an extremist fundamentalist flavour yet displayed an almost total ignorance of the religion they claimed they had. After a long absence from the backroom forum they are again posting the same stuff and still displaying that they have no knowledge of the religion they claim to have.
If you look at the wealth of topics there have been on religion and religious issues they are normally not only very informative but also very civil.
So it seems the problem really lies with those who like to shout out about their "religion" in an inappropriate manner while displaying total ignorance of their own religion.

I suppose one case that doesn't quite fit there would be Navaros.
He went from fundamentalist King James Version is the only translation person to a torah submissive, then a gnostic with a touch of anti canonical , then threw in a bit of kabbala before coming onto being a Muslim, then he left us after getting a real taste for the fundamentalist wahhibi flavour.

Wow. I feel kinda honored by getting a response like this from Tribesman.

Navaros became a Muslim? Am I the only person that still knows little of this legendary/mythical character? I remember him once talking about fruit flies, but that's the only time I've seen him.

He is truly a legend. There is a theory that he is the backroomer (shroomer?) with an almost divinely developed sense of humor.
