You didn’t but we agreed upon not getting religious on the forums directly. Phoenix even emphasized the use of PMs.

I never said I wasn't going to stop posting anything religious. You know, I do have freedom of religion and there is no rule in the forum rules that you can post things about your religion.

Fine…

Since you’re a Christian I can ask you questions regarding Christianity right?

Why you clearly made a thread with non-believers in mind.

If you answer these simple questions maybe you can clear my doubts about God…

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with posting religious views and opinions in the forums... unless they break the forum rules, or subsequent posts break the rules. Religion can be respectfully discussed by people of varying views. Also, if you do not want to read religious posts, you will just have to skip them after identifying them as a topic that you are do not want to read.

But... we will not stand for flaming posts and hateful messages. You can disagree, and you can post your opposing views. But you must do so in a respectful manner.
