"All religions and their traditions deserve to be examined, but there is a difference between critique and slander. And certainly there is a difference between insightful observations and naive comments." [http://media.www.emorywheel.com/media/storage/paper919/news/2007/04/03/ArtsLiving/Tolerance.Breeds.Empathy-2819324.shtml Tolerance Breeds Empathy] A few people on this site are not practicing tolerance. I believe some of these people are professed Christians and have no problem slandering other religions. I don't agree with the notion that people should be free to say whatever they want on talk pages - look at these intolerant and demeaning statements [[User_talk:Crocoite|Mormonism a cult? Are you willing to go to Heaven for Jesus Christ, or are you willing to go to Hell for Joseph Smith?]]. Try this one [[Talk:Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints|the Mormon church said very adamantly that Mormons were NOT Christians]]. Here's another one [[Talk:Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints|The Mormon problem Joseph Smith, Jr., like L. Ron Hubbard, or Helena Blavatsky or Ellen White or Mary Baker Eddy, or Mohammed, were frauds, mountebanks. Mitt Romney is a religious fraud; he is a polytheist who believes in gods from outer space, in other words, a religious whacko.]] I feel there should be rules for talk pages AND articles. It is not right to slander other religions, even on talk pages. [[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]]<sup>[[User Talk:Crocoite|talk]]</sup> 20:49, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

*So, in order to maintain ''order'', and spare anyone's feelings being hurt, you are willing to deny freedom of speech? Article pages should be factual, however to restrain free thought on the talk pages, so long as not sexually explicit or profanity, seems a bit whacked. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 20:58, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
