I'm not sure that "Devotionals" should be able to go unchallenged when they attack the beliefs of others.
Personally, I feel that if a devotional thread wants to preach that the Bible is corrupt and has had "plain and precious truths" removed, that should be their right. It's not necessarily respectful, but I think the marketplace of ideas is big enough for everyone to have a forum. IMO, the problem seems to lie in the the fact that one group is allowed to attack my beliefs in a "devotional thread" but will not allow dissent. And if that's so, it would seem to be a double standard on the part of the former.
I'm just voicing my opinion on an open thread.
Your objection is noted, but the standard remains. If you are offended by claims made on a devotional thread, make a note of them and rebut them on an open thread.
I second your concern. There were a number of statements in that peculiar "Devotional" this morning which would cause any person who happened upon it to ask some legitimate questions. I simply asked a question, a question that anyone unfamiliar with the peculiar doctrines of the LDS Church would ask and my post was pulled. I've seen dozens of questions posed on the Protestant devotional threads and dozens of comments by non-protestants. Usually they are welcomed. To have a policy where there are no questions allowed is rather strict.
If I, as an ex-Mormon were to post a devotional dedicated to ex-Mormons who are now evangelical protestants and the reasons for their switch, would the Religion Moderator protect it from attack by those who are presently still in the LDS Church? Or would the devotional thread be pulled?
I suspect it would be the latter.
