In the above thread, it has become evident that there are some misconceptions about this forum due to the highly nebulous word of "Spirituality". Members [myself included] have agreed that this vaguery has led to many misplaced threads, and that a possible alternative of "Philosophy and Morality" would paint a much more clearer picture of what this forum [in contrast with the other forum] is suited for. Of course there may be other unheard alternatives that may be even better - so please, do us all a favor and speak your mind freely and passionately.


Yes, No, or Hmm.

I think we can all agree that Philosophy needs to stay. That is the meat of this forum.

I like Morality, or Ethics, but I dont think it envelopes what this forum is.... maybe a third word, or a better encompassing word which really pinpoints the subject of this forum.

I think it is a terrible idea. :smile:

Maybe not that bad, but this forum should be open for threads on spirituality. And just because some people confuse the word spirituality doesn't mean we have to change it. Also many want their far out threads to stay here for scrutiny.

What's the fuzz about a few misplaced threads? People are dying out there. If the threadstarter wants to move it, all he needs to do is ask, eh?

If it were my choice, I would call this forum "Objective Philosophies and Spirituality" and the other forum "Subjective Philosophies and Spirituality."

I believe this would clearly define the line that has been drawn between this forum, which caters to a collective understanding of objective reality; and MR&P, which caters to a personal understanding of subjective reality.

I have brought this up to the others mods/admins in the past, but it never went anywhere... it is a tired subject, and most would just as soon let the sleeping dog lie. :shrug:

I would add "Battleground" to P&S, and "Flowergarden" to MR&P.

I'm in support for "battleground" and "flowergarden". it's much more descriptive of the real difference implied.

From the big bang thread:

Quote:

fireworks_god: The forum wasn't really split so that different topics could be discussed in different forums, but so that the same topics could be discussed in different manners.




Correct!

Quote:

fireworks_god: If the only problem is that some people might mistakenly post a topic in this forum and it is discussed in a manner that they did not intend on, then our moderators should gladly rise to the occasion and move it; hey, after all, that is why they are (suspossedly) here. As the thread starter has expressed no discord concerning the (lack) of discussion of his idea, then it most certainly belongs here.




Correct again!


We have discussed this like forever. I really don't think we need another name change.

There are a lot of people who post about xanax in the Psychedelic Experience forum, there will always be people who do not read or don't care where they post. I don't think changing the name will make a difference for those people.

After consulting a thesaurus I have found some words which should atleast be up for minor consideration....

Doctrine
Dogma
Metaphysics (i especially like this one)
Ontology
Syllogism (I only offer this one because it is so apt of the nature of this forum)

I think spirituality is an integral part of this forum, and should remain so. I support the status quo in this case.

No one is trying to snuff out spiritual discussion here, just maybe name it better so as to better define it. Using ambiguous and vague descriptions such as Spirituality isnt the optimal title for this forum.

hopefully a better division between the two forums, as well as impacting the amount of threads that are non-sequitir or purely idealistic blather.

Like someone said before, one is for subjective discussion, while the other is for objective debate.

"Philosophy & Philopathy"

Or

"Ontology, Metaphysics, and Epistemology"
This will scare away anyone with an inadequate vocabulary.

But god forbid we name the forums in a way that indicates this. :grin:

Your suggestion is a pretty nice one.

Well, let's have the secondary poll then:




Which name would suit this forum best?

I actually thought the "Philosophy & Metaphysics" name sounded good.

or "Objective Philosophies, Metaphysics and Epistemology/Ontology (either or)"

MRP has three names which accurately defines the type of discussions they have, while also categorizing their three main genres of quackery.

I think it would help to have "Objective" somewhere in there, but basically I dont care what it is changed to, I just think the name needs to be changed.

How about this one gets named "Critical Thinking", and the other gets named "Wishful Speaking".
