To Religion Moderator:
Because posts are deleted by a moderator and that decision to delete would be subject to interpretation by the moderator (whom I assume is a person and not a computer algorithm), it would be instructive if you could demonstrate your decision making process transparently by selecting which posts listed on this thread would survive “editing” if this were actually listed as a “devotional” or “prayer” thread.
My thought is that very few of these posts would remain on the restricted threads.
Thank you.
If it had been tagged "Devotional" it would have been changed to "Open" or else pulled.
To envision what is tolerable on a Devotional thread, consider what is tolerable on a Prayer thread because a devotional is cut from the same cloth, i.e. it is a meditation on God and the subject or object at hand.
If it would be inappropriate to interrupt a prayer to express your contempt for the one praying, then it would be inappropriate to interrupt a devotional to express your contempt for the one meditating.
Likewise, if it would be inappropriate to interrupt a prayer to complain about the facilities, then it would be inappropriate to interrupt a devotional to complain about the facilities.
Also, posts were removed on this thread for several reasons including (1) use of potty language which is not allowed at all on the Religion Forum, (2) making the debate personal concerning another Freeper and (3) the poster’s request.
