Is it because there are so many right wing God fearing Americans on here?
This is a chess site and has a limited number of forums. Yet the powers that be decree that it is worthy of a forum based on spirituality. To put it in contrast, art, literature, music, computers are all roped into culture.

I doubt it.
Spirituality covers a much broader landscape than the other more limited subjects.

interesting ive seen spirituality discussed in the science forum, in the general forum, in the chess forum and yes even in the debates forum, in the majority of cases it was the non religious that contributed to the threads. Even within the spirituality forum, there are more Atheists than theists.

No. There is no God, so how can there be a word for someone who believes there is a God?
How about atheist? How can there be a word for someone who doesn't believe in a God who doesn't exist?
Best to hedge your bets. It will be pretty embarrassing standing
outside the pearly gates with the word ATHIEST stamped on your forehead.
I'm glad God did not create the world in 5 days because then we would
have 73 weeks in a year and that would give us 18 months.
So a year would be 6 months longer and Christmas would then take
6 months longer to come around. That's half a year longer than it is now. 🙁
Mind you we would get all those extra weekends and have a 3 day working week
getting rid of Mondays and Tuesdays the two most boring days of the week.
Also it would have been fun thinking up new names for the extra 6 months.
I'm liking the idea of a 5 day week. When it's my turn to be God (we will
all get a shot at it eventually) I'll do my creation in 5 days.
I won't leave nothing out, I'll just make everything a lot smaller so it
won't take so long.

Originally posted by HopsterThe spirituality forum was created because a number of posters in the debates forum wanted simply to discuss current politics and felt that there were too many threads entitled 'Does God exist?' Some, such as Dr Scribbles, were opposed to it because they felt that the separation of spirituality was problematic and that many times religious matters could justifiably belong in the debates forum, since they had obvious political implications. I think however that the creation of a separate spirituality forum was very popular.

The more recent creation of the culture forum last year is a different matter though. I originally supported it, feeling that there was not really an appropriate place to discuss aesthetic tastes. I do not think however that the name 'culture' was appropriate and, with the direction it has gone in, it was probably not necessary -- the general forum was sufficient enough.

Originally posted by greenpawn34Have you heard the the theory that there used to be 13 months? (13 twenty-eight day months). This fits in perfectly with the 365 days divided by 28. It was related to the female fertility cycle. The ruling male class didn't like it so thay changed it.
