It's always been like this in the Religion subforum. While there are moderate and respectful theists like myself, who don't shove our religion or beliefs down others' throats, there's pretty much always been a cadre of evangelists who proselytise. And I've been here for something like ten years.
pretty much hit the nail on the head - this forum is intended for discussion of beliefs, not prosthelyzing or preaching.
to that end, I think this thread needs to stop before it derails any further
