If we're allowed to discuss Emmet and Wyldstyle, we should also be allowed to discuss Korra and Asami.

Though it's probably just easier to say love is love. Deal with it.

LGBT discussion is without a doubt important, and I have no desire to question that.  And, yes, debates over religion can quickly escalate to absurd levels, so I can understand why discussion of the matter is not allowed, and I understand that the two issues are not comparable.  But I can’t shake the feeling that banning all reference to religion is a bit strict—surely there has to be a difference between debating something and just mentioning it, doesn’t there?

I have to agree with Pahrak's last statement. My religious beliefs form a vital component of who I am. I don't feel that BZPower is the place to have outright discussion of those beliefs, if only because there are far more convenient, and private, ways to have those discussions. A little discussion as to possible influences of various religions on the BIONICLE story and line (though LEGO does do its due diligence in keeping religion out of things) is basically the only way I can imagine discussion of religion being really appropriate here. But beyond that, the almost total circumscription--what the heck have I been reading lately O_o -- the almost total restriction (much better...) of that aspect of who I am is a little much. It is true, though, that I have been able to enjoy the ability to mention the general nature of my beliefs and mention religious music that I like. Brief, singular mentions, though. Like I said, this isn't really the place to actively discuss such things.

The issue, of course, is that even small displays of religious beliefs have historically blown up into arguments (as far as I remember anyway) due to the, ah, polarizing nature of how those discussions come about. So I understand why discussion is curtailed, the extent just seems a little excessive when I begin to feel as if I'm having to censor myself and keep a central part of my heart and soul away from those I associate myself with. I'll make no complaints if the status stays quo, though. Not been so hard of me thus far.

BZP: Where we take a few steps forward, but then something like this happens and we go right back to the start. I mean, didn't we resolve this a few years ago? =\
