Trust

Deilogos is built upon a radical belief: virtual strangers or different backgrounds and viewpoints can come together and carry on a stimulating, civil conversation. Because anyone can join the Deilogos community and add their thoughts to the site we’ve placed an enormous amount of trust in this principle. We hope that those who choose to join Deilogos will honor the trust we’ve placed in them and choose to contribute to the site in a respectful way.

Community

Deilogos members share are an interest in religion and a desire to carry on an intelligent conversation about it. If you opt to join the site, we ask that you share this interest and have a genuine desire to be a part of the conversation. If you are joining just to make a point, to promote yourself or your website, or to pick fights with others your time would be better spent somewhere else.
