You know I’ve questioned it on here before and I’ve been told it would probably be allowed, but I really wonder if certain anti-Semitic slurs would be permitted on here the way anti-Catholic ones are.

I’ve seen people who even hint at it, get blasted on Sjackson’s threads.

And that is only right.

I know for a fact that it would not be. I know a fellow Catholic who created a user name and posted quoting anti-Catholic posts, substituting only Jew for Catholic, and was zotted very quickly.

The form of "anti" religious material or slur which is hate mongering is intended to engender hatred in the reader usually by fabricating outrageous claims. That type of material (e.g. Chick publications, the false Jesuit Oath, Christian Identity, Islamic Fundamentalism) is not allowed on Free Republic at all.

For example, highlighting historical atrocities does not constitute hate mongering - claiming atrocities without any historical basis would likely be considered hate mongering.

But hate mongering is a high bar and statements which condemn religious beliefs are not automatically hate mongering.

It is not at all unusual when one belief spawns from another that both condemn the other in harsh terms, e.g. heretic, anathema, apostate, cult, sect, Satanic. Such terms are often part of the poster's deeply held beliefs and may be used in the poster's holy writings. And such terms do not automatically constitute hate mongering.

Slurs such as "Papist" or "Snake-handler" or "Moron" or "Nazi" are not hate mongering. Childish, yes; hate-mongering, no.

Slurs such as "baby killers" and "blood suckers" depending on the context might be pulled as hate mongering.
