In an ecumenic conference, there would be both a Rabbi and a Mullah. Both would say what they believe and neither would attack the other's beliefs. The observers know the differences run very deep.

On the ecumenic threads here, the Catholics and the non-Catholics will both say what they believe and neither will attack the other's beliefs. The lurkers know the differences run very deep.

OK, I follow you here so far. Many instances key words/ideas / concepts are shared by these vastly different groups with vastly different definitions. The Rabbi says that the promise was through Isaac while the Mullah would say it was through Ishmael - it would appear that they would either have to talk past each other, or eventually define what is meant by these common terms. This process of definition does not happen in a vacuum, but in response to a preceding post. How are you going to handle this process given that the context of the thread will make it very clear that this is in response and counter to another post - which by your definitions would border on an attack?

except, perhaps . . . for the lurkers who are . . .

as clueless as some of the respective religionists appear to be . . . about the basics . . . such as which way UP is . . . black vs white; left vs right . . . etc.

LOL.
