Showing disrespect or ridiculing an idea is a lot different than ridiculing a belief. There are people behind a belief.
I've been on other message boards where the subject of religon is banned. It always degenerates into disrespect and ridicule. People become offended and the insults start flying in both directions. If it weren't for the CP rules here i have no doubt it would happen here.
