They denigrate me, my beliefs, and the beliefs of my church, and yet dare to call my beliefs heretical. I will not stand for it anymore without saying something.

You can say something.

On an open thread, it is tolerable to say a belief is a lie, a heresy, a joke or whatever - even "satanic." It is tolerable to say a religious figure or author is crazy, a heretic, a liar, etc.

But it is not tolerable to denigrate another Freeper simply because "making it personal" tends to ignite flame wars.

Everyone:

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Thank you. I will abide. To all: I’m sorry for taking it down this far.
To kosta50: I am sorry for calling you a heretic. You have differing beliefs than I do. That is all.
