Mar 6, 2015 7:36 PM in response to Ethan7988by Kappy,It may not be offensive to you or to many people, but it may be offensive to others. Not everyone is tolerant. Being tolerant starts by recognizing when something you say or do could be offensive to someone.
Now you have made a religious statement and expanded this topic into something unintended. I tried to pass along a point to the OP in as unobtrusive a way as possible. You and others have now turned this into a religious debate in which you have certainly expressed your own intolerance.

Mar 6, 2015 7:40 PM in response to Meg St._Clairby Kappy,Yes. I have found it so disturbing and offensive that I have asked the mods to remove the thread after the third post.

Mar 6, 2015 7:53 PM in response to Kappyby ChitlinsCC,With utmost respect, after the 4th post where the OP thanks you in a most gracious and unassuming way might be more appropriate. I do not believe, but I take no offense either.

Mar 6, 2015 8:02 PM in response to ChitlinsCCby Kappy,I was striving for brevity. But the fourth post is certainly an acceptable one.
Next time something like this appears I will defer to the mods and just report it without any remarks. I was trying not to have the OP's post removed, possibly. Should have kept my mouth shut.

No, I think you were quite correct.

Mar 6, 2015 8:13 PM in response to Meg St._Clairby Kappy,Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut than to be correct with it open. But thank you for the support, Meg.

Why bring religion into a technical site at all?
It is my understanding that some believe it is their dogmatic mandate to "spread the Good News" - the UserName is merely like wearing a T-Shirt, a necklace or a lapel pin while having a conversation, IMHO. This is not that big of a deal. Billions of folks on Earth have a deity or deities, and very small percentage are intolerant of others' choice in them.
What if a person's choice of "handle" was "El Mesías de Handel" or their realName and choice of handle was "Jesüs" or like many of our Arabic friends "Mohammed" or worldwide but mainly the sub-continent "Buddha" or there again "Vishnu" ... the list is too extensive NOT to just be tolerant
