    My guess is that the mix of religion and politics was about to erupt into a massive flamewar.

      After thinking about it on my walk back to work, I tend to agree. Nothing from that thread was going to be productive.

        Reading the comments made before the flagkill, your intuition appears to be sound.

  It was killed by user flags.

  It is a little disappointing to see users flag-kill it. It's a conversation we gotta have somewhere.

  Hacker News is notoriously bad at handling any discussion where tech and social issues intersect. It's probably for the best.
