To qualify as Downs discussion, posts are also required to be civil and respectful, particularly when it comes to a hot-button topic like religion. I've only skimmed the last couple of pages of this thread, but I don't like the tone I see.

This is Downs 101 -- and veteran members should know it best of all. Attacking, dismissive, insulting, and drippingly sarcastic posts have no place on the BD. Maybe it's time for everyone to refresh themselves on Esty's Guidelines for Forum Posting.

There have already been a couple of moderator warnings in this thread. I trust that this last one pays for all, and that no one here will force us into more drastic action like thread closures or temporary bans.
