Rational or not is not the issue. The issue is that religious and/or political discussion belongs in the P%R forum. That's why it exists. So even the most rational and the most polite discussion belongs in the P&R forum. That's not my rule. That's the forum's rule. If you allow the discussion to take place outside the P&R frum, then the P&R forum may as well be deleted. Besides, if you have one religious dicussion outside the P&R forum, then there would be precedence to not use the P&R forum. I don't think an exception can be made without undermining the P&R forum.
