Whenever I see religious projects there are always lots of disparaging comments (from all sides).

Maybe out of sensitivity to the diversity of religious views they should not be allowed?

Religion (whether its christianity, Judaism, islam, atheism, etc.) is great if it makes you a happier a better person, but maybe it should be done more privately when it comes to scratch b/c of all the conflict it causes.

Yah, that is a good idea.

A bit, depends, if it can consult someone or start a flame war, don't post it.

Really if it isn't offensive or preaching to the quire (no pun intended) it should be fine.

Usually the project starts out nice like “sign if you're catholic” but then someone says their of a different religion and then it gets nasty. So I feel we need to tread super carefully around this issue.

yeah it's the same reason you are not supposed to talk about religion in public school (here at least)
i have to agree

Well, easter egg hunts are sort of a less religious way of celebrating it, sort of like giving presents on Christmas. (pretty sure the Bible says nothing about “on Christmas buy tons of crud for other people,” but I wouldn't know, I haven't read it.

I'm now really considering becoming Atheist.

I'm half christian half unitarian universalist.

I'm now half-Atheist.

Guys, stay on topic, don't start a war, remember

Oh, and I'm full-one of the religions mentioned above. Er- non-religion?

Religious projects are allowed. I don't agree with this, but the Scratch Team wants the whole “culture” thing and diversity on the website. I once tracked, hunted, and flagged religious projects, but found out from a mod that they were allowed. They're only not allowed if they try to make you that religion or insult other religions. If a religion is one that interferes with others' rights on a daily basis in the real world, then it can be flagged (ie. traditions of cannibalism).

So then you half-believe in god? I would say you're agnostic (meaning you're not sure but you think it doesn't matter either way)

Then again, its up to you want you want to classify yourself as.

Yeah I think you should be able to talk about what ever your beliefs are (as long as they're NOT putting down others beliefs) pretty much everywhere BUT the internet, because of trolls. So called “sensitive topics” like religions and politics cause too many flame wars.

Either ban religious projects, or every1 needs to get a whole lot more ACCEPTING.

UUism or atheism? Both are real religions
