Thanks for raising this. We've no plans at the moment to do this, as it doesn't really meet the criteria for Dead Horses
. In the guidelines for Dead Horses it says quote: This board is dedicated to those topics that recur with tedious regularity on nearly every multi-denominational religious debate forum on the internet. Specifically: biblical inerrancy, homosexuality, the role of women in church and Christian households, creation and evolution, abortion, closed communion and bitching about church music.
Of course there may be other subjects that could qualify in the future, which is why it's good to see suggestions on possible improvements, but when deciding what could qualify as a DH, we would take into consideration what is also said in the guidelines: quote: Dead Horses is not for things we're tired of, things that people disagree deeply about, or general arguments that go nowhere. It's really about keeping the usual detritus from Christian bulletin boards from cluttering up the Ship. It helps to keep us unrestful and different.
Thanks again for raising this, as it's always good to discuss this sort of thing
