Subject: Why are political and religious discussion against the rules?

No, I'm not here to lobby for them or anything. Bungie's site, Bungie's rules. I'm just curious is all.

Political and religious discussions are against the forum rules because discussions on those topics usually end up becoming flame wars.

Why do you think, OP?

Because they don't want that sort of discussion in the public forums?

They're inherently biased. Also, flame wars as previously stated.

Yeah, it never ends well. Expletives get thrown, people say stuff and then the ninjas lock the thread.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Controversy on the internet? That just spells out death sentence.

That is the answer to your question.

Our hosts have asked us to not, we agreed to abide by their terms and that is that.

Additional "why" questions will put us into the 3 year old/parent spiral.

People generally are very opinionated on those subjects and don't want to change their views. These threads just create conflict because people can't respect others' opinions.

Also because this is a video game forum, nothing else. Also you have no rights, so...
