Quote:Actually, comments like this also have a lot to do with it.


I've floated the idea of opening up religion for limited discussion in the political forum before, but not now. Recent events have brought out the worst in some posters I once held in high regard (and still do, really, and it's not just who you think I'm referring to). The thread about the soldier kicked off a military base more than proves that we're not mature enough to handle having our faith questioned here. Liberal and conservative have nothing to do with it.

 

Is it comments like mine, or the honest assessment?

 

The fact is that in the Orlando nightclub shooting thread, I wanted to post a very simple response of prayers..God....Comfort, etc but knew I would quickly get a warning. That is different from limited discussion about Religion which I support as well. 

 

My overall "beef"  feelings is why should a person be mocked for offering prayers of support?  That is what this really entails. 

 

In the thread about Will Smith being killed, a poster made the comment about praying for him family, and another poster mocked his response.
