You should never talk about religion or politics anywhere.

That way people will always be ignorant about both and only get their opinions from the media and you should never ever for any reason question that.

I don't talk politics online because the temperature is so hot right now that it's all arguing, which I simply am not going to do about any subject, even sports. I state what I believe, for better or worse, and will make a decent attempt to defend it, but I don't have the time nor the inclination to argue with people especially if it becomes circular and nobody's opinions are going to change.

Also, people who argue politics online tend to wear specific labels or fall into specific camps. My political beliefs cannot be pigeonholed with the label of liberal, conservative, moderate or whatever you want to toss out. I have some beliefs that people would think were to the right of Genghis Khan. I have others that people would think are to the left of Leon Trotsky. I can look at myself in the mirror every morning and be pleased, and that's all I'm worried about.

As far as religion, arguments about it can get as overheated as those about politics, and I've always figured that I'm going to be more likely to bring others to a saving knowledge of my Lord ... hint hint as to where I'm at, that's all you're going to get ... with sugar rather than a sledgehammer up side the head.
