Is not going to go down well in the Interfaith group. This group was set up specifically as

A safe haven that provides opportunities for people of all faiths, spiritual leanings and non-belief to discuss religious topics and events in a positive and civil manner, with an emphasis on tolerance. Criticisms of individual beliefs or non-belief, or debates about the existence of higher power(s) are not appropriate in this group.


Basically, it was set up because the Religion group was overrun with atheists sneering at religion and at believers. I could point to multiple posts in which it is expressed or implied that religious belief is a mental disease or defect. We want to get away from that sort of thing.

No, I am not "the discussion police", nor are Justin or cbayer. We just want to keep things harmonious in this little corner of DU.
