Those are good thoughts, Jim, thanks. I know the staff will consider your suggestions.
Andy, please don't feel bad, or like you have to censor yourself. No one thinks you meant any harm by posing the question. It's just that modern religious discussions are, by long-established convention, really not appropriate here. People can be very sensitive about their faith, and it's easy for misunderstandings to create bitterness and antagonisms that seep into other areas of the forum.
It's great to talk about ancient religious practices, but when it crosses into the modern-day, things often go sour.
Let's see where the thread goes for now, and see what the staff has to say. There was a complaint made and a ruling is needed, after deliberation. No one is going to be whacked with a vitis, though!
