From atop the Faith Board:
"This is a message board for mutual support and education. It focuses on religious faith (according to the dictionary, "the service and worship of God or the supernatural").
Since the idea here is support, please don't pressure others to adopt your beliefs or *put them down for having theirs*. Sorry, but this may mean not posting some aspects of some beliefs.
TOLERANCE should be given to all *religions* that tolerate others."
It doesn't matter that the statement was made on the Politics Board since the thread evolved into a religious discussion (WWJVF and so on) and would have been redirected to the Faith Board. *Piggybacking* an anti-religious sentiment onto a thread about politics doesn't circumvent the Faith Board guidelines.
I've seen many past warnings and blocks involving posts that argued against the existence of God or for the abolishment of religion.
To the say the world would be better off *without* religion not only doesn't *tolerate* religion, it wants it eradicated.
This seems like a very consistent administrative ruling. I think the Bossman got it right.
reformed, sheepish, and just a little stockholmish -
