Pity, now all of the Religion Moderators will be out of work.

Are you sure?

This should also be repeated from my profile page:

I am not the protector of your beliefs.

I am not the arbiter of truth, for that posters must turn to God or whoever they consider to be the final authority.

I am not the arbiter of logical proofs, for that the posters must turn to the mathematicians, logicians and philosophers.

I am not the arbiter of fact, for that the posters must turn to the scientists, physical evidence, testimonies and historians.

I am not the arbiter of the meaning of words, and I'm not sure there exists such a final authority so the burden rests with the posters to explain what they mean.

For instance, two different posters may look at the world around them and say it is a fact that it is [pick a number] years old. I will not step in and say one is wrong and the other is right.

Ditto for two different posters looking at the history of a matter - or manuscripts - and coming to completely different conclusions.

Such disagreements may be very heated - but they are not hate-mongering.

We moderators know hate mongering when we see it: the false Jesuit Oath, Jack Chick materials, Islamic fundamentalism, white supremacy, anti-Scientology, anti-Semitism.
