Religion has had a part in the shaping of our world, our culture, and our societies. There is nothing that has transpired within this great world of ours that was not somehow influenced by religion or religious people. This is why theology forums both on the net and off are a very important factor in the study and discussion of God and how he or she operates.
Sometimes this "closeness" can cause arguments or even violence, but for the most part it is done in peace. People all generally want the same things, they just need to be brought together in order to achieve this. With religion there are various and widespread goals and for the most part these are brotherhood and peace.
Yet another reason why these theology discussions take place. These talks, lectures, whatever you want to call them, have been happening for a very long time. As long as there was a person shouting that God is responsible for everything here, there has been another person asking why. This brings about discussion and up until modern times these discussions were frowned upon.
People have discussed religion for decades, centuries even. These "talks" often do good for those having them. These forums have also been used in the past (and present) to help people deal with rough times. Tragedy, death, other mistakes made possibly. All of things are easier dealt with when you have someone willing to share the burden.
Those in power were either believers or they were not. If they were, then anybody who believed in a different way was considered evil and they were cast out in any number of ways, death among the list. It was not easy to have a belief back then. Now if those who were in power were not believers, well that is simple. Anybody who did believe, in anything, was then cast out in a similar fashion.
When this is given to people who want it they take full advantage of it. They study and learn all they can about those religions that interest them. But the biggest amount of knowledge is that gained from the experiences of another person. These forums, these message boards and groups of various people gives them the chance to do just that.
These theology forums are great places to bring people with various backgrounds and belief systems together to have an intelligent and violence free discussion. To be able to do this today is a testament to those who came before us and a result of their sacrifice. Many have fought and died to preserve this freedom.
Theology forums have a variety of benefits to everyone. People can take from them what they will. For those who believe it is a place to gather. For those who do not a place to explore and study. Everyone gets something different from them and everybody gives something in return whether they know it or not. Knowledge.
