I agree, although it is not absolutely clear exactly what will constitute an offense, so I will probably just watch for a while.

Read and agreed.... within limits that I will explain in a further thread, if I am allowed to do so.

 

[durangodawood]

Read. Agreed.

Regarding the blasphemy rule, I must say: if you dont believe in God, then the obvious implication is that you think she/he is a mythical figure. But one cant just state that, right?

I mean, if a Christian asks: "how to you explain the existence of the whole God concept?", how is an atheist supposed to respond, without recourse to the fact of human myth-making? Perhaps that line of questioning is out of bounds here?

You could say that you believe that God is a mythical figure (and give evidence for why you believe this) and not a real being and that wouldn't be blasphemy. However, if you said "God is a magic tooth fairy in the sky", that would be a violation of the blasphemy rule.

OK. Sounds perfectly reasonable.
