Ah, I’m gettin this:
“Yet they wail as though I’d stepped on their plastic Mary’s with every word I type.”
So that type of insult with stand well within the range of rules.
I can say:
Nonsensical silly rants of slurry-loving demon/aliens feasting on children fed to them by a secret cabal of government agents under Area 51 is a GROSS PERVERSION of APOCALYPSE and A COMPLETE HASH OF REVELATION WORTH OF BEDLAM.
Right?
The difference would be that accusing another Religion Forum poster, personally, of a sin would be considered "making it personal." And what is a sin would be defined by the ten commandments plus the two summaries of them from the New Testament: love God and love your neighbor.
So if a poster said "You are bearing false witness" that would be making it personal. But if he said "Protestants bear false witness" that would not be making it personal.
It would also not protect posters who "take things personally."
Current events are a good example following Beck's successful rally.
We've received a number of complaints (including abuse reports) that posters are offended when other posters say that Mormons are not Christian. But the belief that only Trinitarians can be called Christian is both deeply held and official doctrine in a number of belief groups.
And on "open" Religion Forum threads, which are in a town square format, Freepers are welcome to say what they believe or do not believe and why.
Those who are offended by the beliefs of others, those who "take it personally," should IGNORE "open" Religion Forum threads altogether. We will not gag Freepers to spare feelings.
Fine with me.
