Ok, I think I know what happened here. Overwhelming large number of HNers are atheists (according to recent polls), including me. But that alone should not be a reason to downvote a comment about religious beliefs, just because we don't agree with that (or any) religious beliefs. My first impression from reading your comment was that your were portraying your religious beliefs as universal facts. Maybe my initial interpretation and reaction was wrong, but thats how I saw it. After reading your second comment and going back and reading the previous comment again I can see why you got the downvotes for expressing your (catholic) religious views. I think it would have been better if you have said "According to catholic belief" instead of "We". Anyways, nothing personal. As a former very religious Muslim, I can understand where you are coming from.
