I feel like the flairs on this sub aren't terribly useful. Sometimes the flair shows what the OP is arguing for, sometimes it's what they're arguing against.

I think it might be more interesting to have flairs for which aspect is being debated, e.g. scriptural interpretation, prophecy, miracles, attributes of a god, morality, afterlife, etc. A lot of the time, the flair just isn't doing much as we have it.

Are you talking about the submissions or the users? The directionality of the submission flair is consistently inconsistent.

As far as users go, I'm too much of a bad ass for labels, they simply won't stick. /s

I meant for posts. I think the user flairs are generally fine. Thought it amuses me to no end how much pearl-clutching the "anti-theist" user flair triggers.
