Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.

Also, this is an "open" thread on the Religion Forum which means it is a town square format for debate. Posters may argue pro or con - they may ridicule other beliefs, religious authorities and deities.

Thick skin is required on "open" threads in the RF.

Thin skinned posters should ignore them altogether and instead post to RF threads labeled "ecumenical" "caucus" "devotional" or "prayer."

And if the poster is offended by religious discussion, he should ignore the Religion Forum altogether.

To do this, do NOT use the "everything" option on the browse. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."

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

And a couple other pointers:

1.) When encountering 'Prayer Threads for 0bama', don't offend the OP by saying you're praying for 0bama to be hit by a bus (I would ping the usual suspect who posts those threads, but they have requested that I not ping them anymore unless Jesus comes back first, or something like that ;)

2.) Don't make jokes about Joel O'Steen's hair, we know he looks like Martin Short's long lost brother, but don't mention that.

(Just a little levity to lighten things up some, lol :)
