To be clear, posters on “open” threads in the Religion Forum must have thick skin. The anti’s of whatever belief – especially the ex’s – will aggressively confront the beliefs they deplore.

That is not hate mongering. Anti beliefs are not equivalent to hate mongering.

Remember that each time a new belief is spawned from a previous one, both sides tend to condemn the other in the harshest terms they can muster, e.g. heretic, cult, apostate, demonic, anathema, etc. And often those harsh terms become part of their official documents. Clean hands are rare.

When the "open" thread debate crosses the line from vigorous disagreement to hate mongering, then we moderators intervene. For instance, we do not allow Islamic fundamentalism, Christian Identity (or other white supremacy beliefs), anti-Semitism, Jack Chick materials, the false Jesuit oath and so on.

Like pornography, moderators know hate mongering when we see it.

Can we at least have Jack Chick materials in the “friday funnies” threads?.
