Are you saying that if one reads the minds of a group of FR posters that is acceptable?

Yes.

Are you saying that I may not say, “FR Poster X is motivated by Satanic malice,” but I may say, “FR Posters L through P are motivated by Satanic malice?”

Saying "FR Poster X is motivated by Satanic malice" is mind reading and attributing motive - it is "making it personal" and the post would be removed.

Saying "FR Posters L through P are motivated by Satanic malice" would also be "making it personal" because posters L and P are specifically identified.

Guidelines concerning Hatred on the Religion Forum:

Certain sources have been determined to monger hatred of persons and are forbidden. Sources that link to those sources are also forbidden. These include Jack Chick, Jesus-is-Lord.com, Jesus-is-Savior.com, BibleBelievers.com, Vdare, KKK, Aryan Nations, National Alliance, Christian Identity, the false Jesuit Oath, the false Oath of the Knights of Columbus, fatimamovement.com, anti-Semitic sources, The Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church.

For example, a post or article that merely mentions Chick will be pulled.

Also do not compare another Freeper to a Nazi or a Westboro member or an Islamic Fundamentalist. That's flame baiting and a personal attack and may affect your posting privileges.

It is within the bounds of “open” Religion Forum town square style debate for a Freeper to express his hatred of a belief. But such posts are never allowed on RF threads labeled “prayer” “devotional” “caucus” or “ecumenical.”

It is never within the bounds on the Religion Forum for a Freeper to express his hatred of people who hold a particular belief when any Freeper is part of the belief group.

For example:

It is ok to express hatred towards MormonISM on “open” Religion Forum threads. It is never ok to express hatred towards Mormons because some Freepers are Mormon.

It is ok to express hatred towards CatholicISM on “open” Religion Forum threads. It is never ok to express hatred towards Catholics because some Freepers are Catholic.

It is ok to express hatred towards ProtestantISM on “open” Religion Forum threads. It is never ok to express hatred towards Protestants because some Freepers are Protestant.

It is ok to express hatred towards SatanISM and Satanists both because no Freeper is Satanist.

I have copied your post to my hard drive. I will continue to observe the rules.

Specifically:
It is never within the bounds on the Religion Forum for a Freeper to express his hatred of people who hold a particular belief when any Freeper is part of the belief group.

It is ok to express hatred towards CatholicISM on “open” Religion Forum threads. It is never ok to express hatred towards Catholics because some Freepers are Catholic.

It is ok to express hatred towards ProtestantISM on “open” Religion Forum threads. It is never ok to express hatred towards Protestants because some Freepers are Protestant.

Two comments on these rules:

1. Many insulting comments are posted about Catholics as people, but no action is taken.

2. There is no hatred of Protestants in general on the part of Catholics. I do not know, but some Catholic posters may have come to hate specific Protestant posters because of the things they have said, but this hatred, if it exists, is grounded in the conduct of specific people and not in a generalized hatred of Protestantism.

Be that as it may, Catholics are held to a stricter standard, just as the lamestream media hold conservatives to a stricter standard. The expression of this hard, cold fact is easily denied and easily mocked; it is, nevertheless, a fact.

“It is ok to express hatred towards SatanISM and Satanists both because no Freeper is Satanist.”

I hope if some smart aleck shows up declaring himself to be a freeper and a Satanist the Viking kitties will shred him tooth and claw?!

I admit to absolute intolerance to the idea of Freeper Satanists! I understand letting the Freeper atheists hang out. It is better to let such rave on that all should know them mad!
