Please do .
There was a time when metal detecting and doing “ritual “ was in there too but they seem to have become less acceptable these days .

I can't think of a case where anyone here thought discussion of these topics inappropriate .
If anything they have been encouraged .

But it does tend to lead to either personal attacks , flouncing off , or an unwillingness to actually get involved in a discussion by the proponents .


I'd like to confirm that's my recollection too.
The only thing that's ever been said is "please preface stuff like that with "IMO" and if you're going to accuse science of being baloney give us something to back it up.

This issue crossed my mind when reading this today:

Sooner or later an intelligent designer will pop up here. I'd hope the above simple parameters would be used.



We seem to have been tipped from the problematic enough relativism into
the "alternative facts " arena.

What is telling is that while alt views are listened to here , there has never been any call for them to be silenced , even when the failure to produce the goods results in toys being thrown from pram .
