Why even post it

I have seen a couple of posts relating to religion. Why do people even have to post such things. A lot of things Ive seen I have found offensive! I think people shouldnt even post religous topics if it is a message of belief rebellion.

Scratch forums arnt all that great when every once in a while you stumble across an offensive post...

Re: Why even post it

I agree. Besides being inappropriate, what could it possibly cause besides flame wars and people hating each other?

Re: Why even post it

Why post it? For debate, maybe? Discussion? If people not subscribing to your beliefs offends you, what are you doing on an internet forum, or communicating and interacting with people in general? We have freedom of speech, they're allowed to state that they don't follow your religion, and that shouldn't be any more likely to cause flaming and people hating each other than someone stating that they do follow them.

All i'm saying is that I dont like the ones that complain, and make fun of religion, not the ones that just ask what people think about certain religions. Debate is when two pople start a topic. I dont want to see things like "There is no god, so stop worrying".
That is like a connected insult. It tells that all monotheistic religions worry. Everything you listed makes sense, I just dont want people angrily yelling about and against religions, not even trying to discuss or debate.
