How would it be different if I described Bex's posts about her faith in God as gay sounding skipping around the heavens crap? (For the record, Bex, I don't feel that way about your faith; I find it uplifting that some people have found a path which guides them. I don't have a path which guides me, though I also don't feel the call of christianity or other religions. It varies from person to person.)



And it is a fact, not an opinion, that your tone is offensive. Period.

I'm not certain why we're still hung up on the discussing of people's personal lives here. I never indicate my real name online, I rarely indicate my location. I'm not even certain people here know what my gender is. None of it matters because we're debating ideas, not people (at least that's what I'm here for).



What have I said that's insulting? I pointed out when I started posting here that it is my personal policy not to attack a person's religion. I will not enter a debate with someone and say 'christianity is wrong because of x and y'. It is not my place to question to faiths of others. However, when people discuss more tangible things such as the age of the earth or the validity of tree rings, etc., then I will interject and take part of a debate. The smiley faces and the pleasant tone is to reassure the reader that I am not out to get them or have something against them personally. The difference here is you are attacking my personal belief system. You've even gone a step further now by ridiculing it and describing it as gay sounding. Again, I ask: how would you react if I said belief in God is gay? (I don't actually feel that way but let's hypothesize and imagine if I said it, and then imagine just how offensive that would be.)

If I have said something which either was or was construed as an attack of your religion I do sincerely apologize (though it'd help to have the exact remarks quoted so I know what specifically offends you).
