88. Mocking the faith of a lot of people, for starters
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 04:11 PM by AngryOldDem
When are people going to learn here that there is a difference between criticizing the leaders of a religion and ridiculing the belief system of a religion? Sometimes I think people here get the two confused, and cross the line. Christianity and Christians have taken their fair share of hits here since the election, but making fun of a particular religious belief should be seen as unacceptable here.

The Virgin Birth is a deeply held belief on the part of many. If you can't/don't/won't believe it, that is your perogative. But that does NOT give you the right to put that belief up for bashing. It's called, I believe, having respect.

Scroll back up and re-read post 4. That person has it exactly right.
