I do not doubt that some believe their salvation has something to do with their contending with others.

I will not point to any particular religion as having that as a core belief. However, I do observe contentious behavior from all the major "debate teams" on the Religion Forum.

Yes, "contentiousness begets contentiousness." 1 Debaticles 3:11.

Some believe that the twin towers were brought down by explosive devices. When they come onto FR, they are shut down. Even the Muslims (I know many, being from Detroit) do not believe that their salvation depends on a soul count. Those who do are extremists and we should not stand for that.

Does that do well for our “cause”? Are we a forum of shared beliefs or does it do us well to allow a few to taint all of us? Personally, I would prefer to be told by a mod when I “get on a roll” before someone in the MSM picks up my “out of context” quote.
