Your use of the word "bigotry" in statements to the anti-MormonISM posters on the Religion Forum suggested to me that you might be offended by "open" RF debate. Therefore I intervened.

Also, some posters - even oldtimers - were not aware of the software change that causes RF posts to appear by default ("everything" browse) and ultimately wanted some way to make them disappear again. So I make it a point to provide that information to posters who evidently disapprove of contentious religious debate.

But apparently you are here on purpose and have a theological, ideological, philosophical etc. issue to discuss - and that is fine of course. The main guideline on the RF is to encourage just that, i.e. to "discuss the issues all you want but do not make it personal." The second part of that guideline exists because flame wars ignite quickly when posters deplore each other's deeply held religious beliefs. Some "take it personally." By disallowing ad hominems we nip many flame wars in the bud.
