Sorry guys I had no idea they would lock the threads if a person talks about religion.

I love talking about this. But I can't do it here.

They need to fix the notifications for messaging so that we know when they reply back.

That would be really helpful.

You can discuss religion here in the Open Discussion forum - you cannot do it in the public forums.

Thanks. That's a load off.

Here's a link: https://www.chess.com/club/open-discussion

Warning: it's mostly unmoderated and you may get a much more Thessalonican reaction than a Berean one.

It's a V3 link, although it should work in V2 as well. You can also search for Open Discussion in the clubs / groups.

I was wondering, how many ppl talk about religion on here? Not very many right?

How often do you delete comments and block forums regarding a belief system?

Or are you not allowed to answer theses questions?

Most folks here are pastafarian. We eat religion.

As often as we see them, because Chess.com policy is that religion (and politics) are NOT to be discussed in the public forums - see the stickied thread at the top of "Off Topic": https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/forum-posting-rules---be-nice--no-religious-or-political-debate

You could also see whether some of the larger private groups such as Debate+ are cool with religious commentary or discussion.

If you "can't help it", that is a bad sign, because if you keep violating this rule despite being warned, your account's ability to post anything at all will be restricted.

Ignore pasta at your own peril.

I can talk about it in the Open Discussion club right? Where is it exactly? Which club?

Absolutely, yes. The club is called "Open Discussion" and should appear when you search for it. I don't know why the link I supplied earlier doesn't work for you: it works for me.
