What’s the Godwin’s law equivalent for religion?

Over at the Metroblogging Chennai site, I’d written a post about my sepia-tinted visits to Marina, and the things we did there. And asked people if they had a Marina tradition as well. Two days later, that post has veered completely off track and is now debating brahmanism, hinduism, carvaka philosophy and hamam soaps. I love the blogosphere, I really do!

This reminds me, somebody quickly formulate a law, on the lines of Godwin’s, for gays, please. Every 10th comment in any thread will reference gays. Or gay-ness.

As you’ve already come up with a modern version of Godwin’s law, I’ll try to come up with a corollary which is so unique to Godwin’s law.

Whenever a person starts to say something about gays or gayness in an open discussion, he loses, regardless of the result of the discussion.

Hmmm, yeah. I suppose so.
