It is an "open" RF thread meaning posters may argue for or against dieties, beliefs, religious authorities, etc. They may ridicule such things. Open threads are often contentious. It is in a "town square" format.
If that style of debate offends you then IGNORE "open" RF threads altogether and instead post to RF threads labeled "devotional" "prayer" "caucus" or "ecumenical."
If you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the browse. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."

Why advise me to avoid religious posts because I disagreed with posters who want to show how awful Mormonism is?
The poster stated his purpose of educating Christian Freepers who feel “impelled” to defend Mormonism so they will know what they are defending.
Is not my religious viewpoint valid? My viewpoint, as one of those to be educated, is that the exercise is flawed.
The poster specifically stated they wish to educate Roman Catholics. I am one. I am not anti Mormon. Further, I have been debating with others who though not Catholic, seek to further educate me that Mormonism is a threat to Catholic Orthodoxy.
The suggestion that I not engage in the discussion puzzles me.
