Ditto what allie said but it boils down to these few things,
There are some religious people on this site and some who are not. Many (religious or non religious) don't seem to take offense to simple statements like, "I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers" or when there is a SPECIFIC topic that is created about religion (although about 35 currently exist so I suggest utilizing the search feature and refreshing an old topic, not creating a new redundant topic) but the problems seem to arise when one infers that someones problems are related to the fact that they are religious/aren't religious. Also, "leading someone to the lord" isn't the point of this forum. If you have something you'd like to say to someone about religion and it's personal, like, "i'd like to share something I believe about God with you" then using the PRIVATE MESSAGE feature is probably the wisest way to go. If they respond, there you go. If they don't, maybe you've offended them/turned them off and you no NOT to press the issue anymore. General mentions of religion in relation to what works for you in your life isn't bad either, but people take it too far, make it personal, "well if you'd believe this, or if you'd go to church, or if you'd pray"..... and that's where it seems to become offensive.
Clearly there are people on this site (and in life) who are FAR too sensitive and some who are FAR too insensitive, and some who don't use common sense, and some who are guilty of reacting inappropriately sometimes, some who do it all the time... it's life. It really boils down to common sense and respect of others. There will always be conflicting views, ALWAYS anywhere you go. It's what you do/don't do about it that makes the difference.
I don't quite understand what you meant by, "also i think if this is a public site is not your to state you opinion ok". I don't quite get it. Are you trying to say that because this is a public site you should get to say what you want? do know and understand that much time, thought and monitoring is put into this site and just because it is public doesn't mean that those who manage it don't have a right to take away something that others find offensive.
