Threads bashing religion acceptable?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Seems to be a thread full of attacks and anti-Christian biogtry on behalf of some particularly virulent atheist members.

is this acceptable? It seems that anti-religious sentiment is tolerated here and I'd hope it's not.

One recalls a question by the mike_c primitive, in which he asked my fellow alum why he didn't have the "right" to bash Christians, because mike_c is part of the "rational logical right-thinking" elite whose observation, evaluation, and judgement of things is perfect and Omnipotent.

1. I prefer to stay out of the DU religion wars.

But my impression is that the OP is not attacking Christianity in general, but rather attacking a satirical tea-party-style version of it.

2. Good to know, Skinner.

It just seems odd that any debate about religion, any THREAD, good or bad devolves into bashing said religion(9 times out of 10 even if it's not about it, some posters manage to bash Christianity).

So, when will they attack the head choppers?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

When the head-choppers finally get around to going after their good friend the mike_c primitive, who'll cry and beg and plead and kiss and fondle the shoes of U.S. soldiers to save his sorry ass.
