I sometimes believe that the posters are "inciting" these arguments just to see how riled up everyone will get, but I guess in the long run, you are right, I will ignore the religion threads so I don't have to see the carnage going on. It just upsets me because sometimes I read the religion threads to learn more about everyone's religion, and while I am reading it, a fight breaks out and even though it is online, it still upsets me.
