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.
HMMMmmm...
