Open threads will be robust, offensive even, because they are like a town square. There is no "official" religion on this forum - expect beliefs and beloved religious figures and authorities to be demeaned.
Look at the bright side. At least it is not an arena filled with hungry lions.
Posters who cannot deal with the heat of open threads should stay on the closed threads - the devotionals, prayer threads and caucuses.
You keep posting that. I'm wondering ... Some folks appear to make themselves their own authority. Does this make them fair game to be "demeaned"?
I'm dealing with it. And I will continue to object to the disruption of the Catholic subject threads that are hijacked, every single time they are hijacked. Look at it this way, the Prods live to annoy, anger, and disrupt these threads. They're happy when we get angry. :D
