"Open" RF debate is in a town square format and often becomes contentious. Thick skin is required.

Posters may argue for or against dieties, beliefs, religious authorities, etc. on "open" Religion Forum threads. They may ridicule such things.

What one poster believes to be absolute truth, e.g. "Catholics worship Mary" - may be a damnable lie to another poster.

Posters may condemn or be antagnostic toward groups of believers. For instance, they may say "Buddhists are nuts" but they must not say "You're nuts."

I can and do intervene to keep posters from making it personal, but there is nothing I can do to keep posters from taking it personally.

If "open" RF debate is offensive to you, then you should IGNORE "open" RF threads altogether and instead post to RF threads labeled "ecumenical" "caucus" "prayer" or "devotional."

I hadn’t looked at anyone’s profile page so I check yours
and I noticed an answer to one of my questions for you.

Hmmm...your profile and effort for the forum are extensive!

I don’t know how to say it but I went for a Rosary walk
right after reading it and kept thinking about you and how each of us, we all love Our Lord, Protestant and Catholic. We witness for Christ in our own way. Some of us just a little and others much more.

I know of a discussion forum, it’s so far out there. FR is a choir, not many disbelievers.
