I'm not the Cap, so I have nowhere near final say, but I think it's fine as long as it's fiction and not proselytizing.

If you post religious writings, you have to be aware of the risk that people will bash you for it.


Of course, if any bashing occurs, come to me or any of the other mods and we'll send out a warning to the basher.


But I would say that, yes, you may post religious writings ^^ As long as you realize the risks of posting.

You can write about whatever you want to explore.

If it has content that you feel may be inappropriate or offensive to some you need to put a warning at the start of your piece.

Ensure you're still writing according to guild rules (not writing deliberately offensive material). eg/ you can explore avenues like "does God exist?" and expand your thinking on that is fine, but to write pieces with the intent on insulting those who do believe like "anyone who believes in God are retards" (as seen in CB forum on gaia) is not appropriate. Do you see the difference?

I can't see anyone in here really having a problem with you posting pieces about religion though if you're worried about sounding preachy. Just try to make sure the pieces you write actually have a plot or are exploring some idea and not just out to "spread the word" so to speak.

I concur..
I mean, if they're any good then I would probably fnid them fairly interesting.
Are they completely God-centered, or are the characters simply religious?
