What should be the purpose of this group?

4. I know that threads started in special interest groups are often then also posted in GD.

Who makes this decision? The administrators, or the leader of the group? The reason I ask, is that when special group threads go on GD, that is when things sometimes get off track with postings from those unsympathetic with all things religious, (if posted from this group) or have problems with certain viewpoints; then all hell breaks loose, with antagonistic and off topic rants. I would feel more comfortable posting in this group, especially, if most discussions included others in this group. Now I know that others can come into these threads, even if not in the group, but I feel that most hostile people are responding when the discussions go onto the General Discussion.
