“General Questions” also has this [FAQ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=466202) stickied at the top of the forum, which I would guess you didn’t bother to read before you posted. If you had, you might have read the second point in the FAQ:

> [@General Questions Rules and FAQs](#):
>
> 1. Political, religious, or professional jabs, hijacks, and trolling prohibited. The purpose of General Questions is to get factual questions answered. In order to accomplish this we need the threads to stay on topic. We tolerate some joking, but that is generally acceptable only after the question has been answered. Please do not race to a thread to post that hilarious one-liner in response to the thread title, and don’t drive by just to drop in an anecdote that doesn’t answer the question. If you want to be funny while contributing to the thread, go for it. We tolerate some discussion of tangentially related factual information. **We don’t tolerate political, religious, professional or personal jabs or insults. In case it’s somehow not clear: Trolling isn’t permitted at all.**

So far, all you’ve done in this thread is rant and insult posters who haven’t insulted you. We’re willing to engage you, but it would be nice if you would kindly state your questions, or your opinions, in a coherent and calm manner.

**Moderator Warning**

**mla1** , telling another poster “screw you” and insults in general are not permitted in General Questions. This is an official warning. Do not do this again.

[Moderator Instructions]

Debates about religion go in our Great Debates forum. While I would ordinarily move a thread like this there, I think you need to read the FAQ for this board and get a feel for how we operate before you continue to post here.

You may open another thread in Great Debates. However, you should:

1. Try to provide a sustained and coherent argument.

2. Drop the hostile attitude and ridicule of other posters. As noted by **kenobi** , trolling is not permitted.

3. Be aware that you’ll be better received if you pay attention to capitalization, spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

If you continue the pattern you have so far shown in this thread you will be banned from this board in short order.
