In summary, the appropriate discussions for GD are general discussions that do not violate the global forum guidelines. Religious discussions that assert the truth or falsity of dogmas are not allowed. Other discussions that do not fit in other sections and follow the guidelines are allowed. Any topic can be discussed in GD as long as it does not violate the guidelines or offend others.

You may want to read Physics Forums Global Guidelines. It's the Guidelines button on the Flash menu.
There's a part that reads:
Discussions that assert the a priori truth or falsity of religious dogmas and belief systems, or value judgments stemming from such religious belief systems, will not be tolerated.

General Discussion is for...well...General discussion. If it doesn't fit somewhere else, and does fit within the global forum guidelines, then it belongs in GD.
