Without commenting on anything in particular, I feel like it's a good time to remind people that most of the rule set can be condensed into a simple term - "Don't be a dick."

Now carl i dont wanna be a dick, but actually being a dick or being percieved as a dick are two different stories

And that's a tricky thing, I concede.

And it is specially tricky when it comes to religion.

The way that I have seen this being tackled in other places is by separating the religion from the believers. You can criticize the claims of a religion, the contents of scriptures but not refer to believers and call them names.

But of course, the Mod Team decides the policies here and I don't pretend to come here to change policies, I am just trying to find a clarification.

Also, the religion thing is specially tricky given the fact that religion finds a wide array of things as offensive, and so that's a bottomless hole that the protection of religious sentiments leads everything down to.
