On "open" Religion Forum threads, there is no guideline prohibiting a poster from saying that a belief, article or statement is "stupid" or "idiotic" or "heresy" or even "damnable."
HOWEVER, if such words are being used repeatedly to characterize another poster's remarks then it is clearly making the thread "about" that poster - which is "making it personal" and "flame baiting."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Thanks RM. HD -- note that I pointed out that your's post's conclusions were non-sensical. An internet poll where anyone can vote, and one in which just 41 people voted does not constitute anything better than someone just saying "oooh... oooh". Also, quoting from a MSM article that does not even report correctly is also incorrect.
Your posts until then had had serious thought behind it
