Is this board, Non-Christian Perspective, the only one which the administrators permit non-Christians to post on?

If you're asking for permission, I'm not concerned about where you post. The intent with that 'rule' (as far as I understand it), is to try to prevent every topic from becoming an apologetics exercise, argument, or worse. As long as we can avoid that, feel free to engage.

OK. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi, resident Jewish person here. I post everywhere. I just save my posts that could be viewed as critical of Christianity for "Non- Christian perspective".

Incidentally, why is this board listed under a category named 'Child boards'?

Controversial Issues is the parent board; Non Christian Perspective is the child board.

Why not call it 'offspring' instead?

Why not call it 'offspring' instead?
For two reasons:
- This is inherited SMF terminology, https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Child_board.
- "Offspring" board is just weird.
An alternative would be something like 'sub-board', 'subforum', etc. But I'm not in a rush to change something that works.

I don't know if any of you heard it, but a while back BBC Radio 4 had a comedy series called Bigipedia. It was a parody of Wikipedia (itself a parody of a serious encyclopaedia). One section was called 'Bigipedia Kids' with a disclaimer that ran something along the line of "Bigipedia Kids is no longer called 'Hanging at the school gates' due to an ongoing legal case in the High Court and the previous title 'underage fun' has been the subject of a copyright infringement."
Whether it is true that paediatricians were subject to vigilante attacks or whether that is an urban myth, there are enough Daily Mail articles doing the rounds to call into question the terminology of internet forums.

Let's consider this set of questions, clarified.
