Take also into account that someone could be offended by you simply offering that bit of information about yourself. For instance -- the most benign prayer I know of is the Pledge of Alliegiance. It mentions in one simple line Under God. This is no different than your Jesus signature -- They're both non offensive (and I'm agnostic, before you ask) unless really read into. But people do read into those things. Lawsuits abound until the Pledge of Alliegiance isn't allowed in school anymore. A simple daily affirmation of Patriotism shot down because one line is offensive to a minority.

I don't agree with Christianity. I'm not against it in a antipathic sense, I just don't agree with the processes in the system. (I don't agree with any others in that sense either, although Taoism is close.) But there are some that think that your system is so wrong that it offends them. Not that either of you are right, but it's better to avoid anything that could cause the problem in the first place. This is why the Rules exist. For others protection. If this forum only had people like Tanikaze, or Shishka, or myself on it, it likely wouldn't be a problem. But this Board is for the general public. the only way to make certain you don't offend someone or inadvertantly start something, is to follow those rules.

Trust me -- they're there for a reason.

No, it's just that your post was so well thought out that no one could add anything to it. Myself included. ;-)

Im a proud Atheist so I won't even get into this, which makes me wonder why I even bothered posting. Oh well I'll just say this: No matter what it is that Bungie "censors" on their site, they can, there's nothing that can tell them that they can't enforce rules against religious topics, on Bungie.net, Bungie rules all, and to me, when I think about it, they are being fair, relative to the power that they can use more strictly.

Let's all stop stating our religions before something gets started.

You chose to disregard the rules, and be disrespectful.

Way to represent. Thread locked.
