Exactly! Now look I have very very liberal in my views on science, but I'm still "Christan". I admit I don't attend church and have barely read anything in the bible, but I still believe in god. Maybe my views fit in more with a different religion, but people who do have religious views shouldn't be treated as "insane people".

Yeah I believe in god also and try my best to stay out of any religious threads or discussions on here for that very reason. People make blanket statements that every person that has a form of religious belief is "uneducated" or my personal favorite on here was "mentally infant".

It's sad that on this site that derogatory remarks about a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE are punished harshly while insulting people without provocation due to their religious beliefs isn't moderated in the slightest.

You can make the following comment and be banned "All nintendo fanboys are naive and uneducated."

You can make the following comment and not be banned "All religious people are naive and uneducated."

 

I voted yes, this is not the place for political and certainly not religious discussion.

That's simply not true. I've seen a lot of bans for sweeping generalizations. That's another big hot button for mods. You would have to say "some religious people are naive and uneducated" to escape a ban.

But the bias is nothing new. For example you could freely say that EA is the biggest shitpile known to man without any fear of a ban. Try to replace EA with Nintendo and you are banned before you can even click submit.
