Half- I don't think it should be abolished so much as toned down. I feel the rule should remain but should be exercised in a reactive way rather than a proactive one. Religious discussions should be allowed but terminated by force as soon as they turn to shitstorms. The religious shitstorms do exist, and are prominent, but the most recent one was started by Prince Weaver himself, ironically in his very attempt to preemptively prevent a shitstorm. So even if we have no interest in the preservation of intellectual curiosity, and our sole goal is to prevent shitstorms, it remains clear that we must allow moderate and polite religious discussion, seeing as how attempting to squelch it before it causes a shitstorm is just as prone to cause a shitstorm as it itself is.
