I took time out to read through some of the posts made on many treads in the forum and I noticed that the treads that have more posts are usually those that center on politics, religion, sex or money and this has prompted me to ask this question. Which topic do you consider more volatile and controvertial for discussion and why do you think so

methinks the most controversial topic is on religion!!!

and why do you choose that?

Because Religion is the only topic in which people are taught to believe that they are right and others are wrong. In most other fields, people are open to others' opinions but in religion the act of accepting another person's religion would be known as backsliding. Blind acceptance of a religious belief and refusal to accept other opinions? That's 'faith'!

Yeah i think it's religion, people never agree on any issue, it's being controversy galore.
this is because we belong to different churches, denominations and we have not thesame doctrine.

Religion = church. Hell NO! U cant juxtapose them.


controversy don start already!

Seun:

Because Religion is the only topic in which people atre thought to believe that they are right and others are wrong.

it also involes building your convictions on a gurantee-of-afterlife

it sorta depends on d person. i don't argue about religion anymore and even if d person got a diff view i try my best to let it go but when it cums to politics i'm not that into it but the different times i've talked about it with peeps we end up arguing because i don't agree with them. In politics peeps got different views on how it should be done, and what the right thing is.

i would choose religion and sex

this is because most people have their different ideas and opinions about these topics. when i say opinions, i mean strong opinions and they would want to talk about it, although these opinions might sound absurd to some people, some others might actually get something from it . so.....

But you guy have to realize that as much as religion brings controversy, issues bothering on politics and money also take front role in the scheme of things.

Take the recent happening in the last WTO meetings with all the riots and all. ==money

Check out the the heat in the middle east==politics

what about the issues threating to split the Anglican church==sex

I really need your views here folks

The WTO issue is not money, it's politics. Yes, politics can be contentious but at least it is open to debate. Religion, on the other hand, encourages blind belief in concepts that have no proof.

But you will agree with me that outside politics, it also concerns money as in who gets what and how much goes to who?

Religion as controversial as it is may not be a heated debate as sex when you consider issues like gay marraiges and homosexualism and all that. It might not be heated like issues concerning places like Gaza strip and the palestine problems.

Religion, because people believe things, and those don't nessisarily have proof. So the entire time you are mainly arguing on theriories, thougths, ideas. And when you do have any sort of proof, it can be interpritated in litterly zillions of different ways. People within their own religion argue on different things, thats why we have different denominations in the religion of Christianity. Everything usually goes back to religion anyway, because your religion is your frame of referense in which you veiw the world.

Religion.

Just start something like Jesus is not the son of God, he's the son of mary. And you'll see babanla controversial posts.
