Why do religion threads have such bad rep?

I like them. They're the most interesting threads to read on the entire forum, in my opinion. I actually think that the "flaming" is a myth. People only seem to be offended if they're really touchy and can't stand to see adversity.

They may not result in anything, but almost no threads do.

I always categorized needless, irrelevant insults as flaming and virtually any other discussion (with opposing viewpoints) as debating.

Religion threads do have a bad rep because people [b]are[/b] touchy.

And, because while discussions/arguments are supposed to change opinions, that never happens in religion threads.

Because nobody cares about what you believe except your religious parents
