I do wonder why some folks feel such a need to comment on religion in particular.
Religion is such a personal issue, it’s more personal than politics, even. I am an "Vampire" - Fallen Angel :), but I hold very firm to the right of everyone to believe how they want, and I hope their religion (or lack thereof) brings them comfort and joy. I think it’s an affront for one person to try to poke holes in another person’s belief system…
The interesting thing that I see is that there is a part of this thread where religious discussion CAN be made…yet no one bothers to comment there. Is it because no one really wants to have these discussions on this thread, after all ? Obviously not. So I wondered if the reason it must not be so popular is that the real need is not to share the joy of one’s own faith, but to make a public spectacle of the attempt to shred someone else’s faith.
Somebody suggested that QL's rule #1 be reworded to say:
