Well as expected this thread went off course and now it seems to be an opportunity for people to say whatever they like about any religion.

IceInSpace has rules in place about discussion of certain topics because this inevitably happens.

"Because people might get upset" is a perfectly legitimate reason to have rules in place, in a community where the topics and subjects are about "astronomy", not religion, politics, etc.

Just because it's the internet, doesn't mean you get to say what you want and be damned with what other people think. In the 'real world', and in any other 'real life' community (eg: a room full of people from diverse backgrounds), I wonder whether people would be so open about their criticisms without worrying what people would think and say back to you.
