You know, I'd like to offer a comment on this, but even discussing the weather might offend someone's religion in the Religion forum.

At one time this could have been an interesting discussion.

Hmmm...the weather's off limits. Maybe I can go at this another way.

So, how about them Dodgers?

Don't do it, man. He just wants to bait you into talking about the weather, and then you've really had it.

Tell ya' what, Bill.

You get the FR moderators to change the policies to something like:

"All religions and religious figures can be criticized, but individual FR posters cannot be attacked."

Then maybe myself and others might comment on LDS posts.

Don't forget to include lifting the ban on meteorology.

Some folks like to have one set of rules for themselves and another set for others.

I don't agree. I see no point in "attacking religious figures."

Would this include the Catholic hierarchy?

That's not attacking "religious figures." It's criticism of church administrators.

Can you really not see the difference?

FWIW, I thought we had settled this question with the UMC thread earlier today.

I suppose it depends on the manner in which it is presented.

WE didn't settle anything on the UMC thread earlier today. You avoided direct questions, just as you have here.

FWIW, it appears to be a double standard.
