Just an observation, but I think the flaming and baiting is getting to be a little over the top. Just on the first page of this forum I see:

Children that God neglected
The Arrogant Christian Comment Thread!!
Good news for Christians
Who wants to worship Satan with me?
Encouragement to kill babies in the Christian Bible
The First Crusade
HA HA HA HA ....Look how much religious ppl are desperate .
Eating shrimp and prawns is forbidden by God!
Teach the controversy: Pi = 3.0
God isnt real.
Logic: There is no God

What's wrong with that?

Nothing as long as the mods say so.

Mods and Admins determine what can and cannot be said on a forum.

There is no first amendment here.

Indeed? I've seen few complaints in the overmoderation
thread recently. Which either means that people don't know
about it, or they are fairly happy. I would think that Alex's
assurances of recent times should keep anyone from being
afraid.

I am not talking about you, I am an ex-mod here and I lost my powers thanks to a birdy who likes to snort and drink.

I think those rules were just aimed at people who have a religious belief, as they sure aren't enforced when those of faith are under attack every time they post a thread. Those who don't have Spiritual beliefs can say anything they want


I second this. Much of the Bible is considered "hate speech" in many countries, so automatically the rule about hate speech is an attack on Christianity and Orthodox Judaism.

Well, Sopho is a special case. She lacks the ability to sympathize.

(I'm being polite, really. She believes in pursuing a no-holds-barred, all-out attack on Christianity, yet balks and protests at me voting against gay marriage. There is no level to which she will not stoop in her insults.)
