How was what I wrote a 'flamewar'? And especially in the context of the anti-religious views that elsewhere were not flagged nor called flamewars. What's your agenda, Dang?

Politics, religion, philosophy, these are worthwhile things to discuss.

And fun.

Now leave us be to have fun.

HN is not for generic discussions about grandiose topics that always get people riled up. Those discussions are not driven by intellectual curiosity, which is the organizing value of this site. They turn into ideological battles and tangents, which produce mediocre comments. It's a clear win for HN not to host such arguments, so you should look elsewhere for that variety of 'fun'.

I know it always feels like the mods are biased against you, but I've scolded plenty of anti-religious zealots for breaking the HN guidelines over the years, including at least one in this thread.
