I will respect the rules here, I'd just really like to know what they are, specifically:
Does it mean that discussing the influence of the religious views (even, or especially? of very large groups or even most popular of them) on the topics discussed is not allowed?
Does it mean that it is not allowed writing personal view on such topics?
Is the goal to have only the comments that are never downvoted?
Is the goal to have only the comments that nobody finds "offensive"?
Is it allowed for somebody who is not religious to discuss the topics from his own point of view (the point of view of a person who certainly doesn't believe in any of the religion which can feel "offended")? To compare, would you allow a homosexual to discuss any topic from his homosexual point of view, even if some religions are "offended" by mere existence of homosexuals? If you give homosexual these rights, why not giving the same to atheists? Only because even more people can get offended?
I understand that the "rules" are something that grows with the use, so even if they weren't openly written, it would be nice if they were openly accessible and readable.
(I honestly don't see where I actually offended somebody (except for expressing a different view, I actually try to discuss to the facts)).
Thank you.
- dang 11y agoWe're not bureaucrats or legalists, and I can't imagine anything more soul-destroying than trying to make HN's rules that specific. It would drive me mad. Instead, try to internalize the spirit of this place. Religious flamewars are the last thing we want. Arguments about the truth or falsehood of entire religions are sure to lead to flamewars. Please just don't go there.
