>Personally I think if Rick is confining this stuff to the religion section then being rude is unnecessary and somewhat disrespectful of someones belief however outlandish you may think them.

I agree. I can't believe how "touchy" people is. I found it disconcerting, in particular when the same people (neither Metin nor Jean, ) complaining about Rick's religious posts (which I religiously skip) were silent when some other posters proposed mass murder (like "we should bomb Iraq back to the stone ages" or "we should nuke Baghdad into a parking lot" (paraphrasing as I do not remember exact words) (If I was the owner I would have banned those posters in the spot), so that was OK but no, religion is out of limits, give me a break. (And I am not religious myself)
