Please don't take HN threads into religious flamewar. Regardless of your sincerity, that's what this amounts to on a large public internet forum. It's off topic, and we have to ban accounts that do it, so please don't do it again.

I fail to see how this is off-topic. The topic of the article is religious faith among young people, and the person I replied to expressed a want to find Christian faith. So how is it off topic? At least admit you're being a tad-bit dishonest.

You link the guidelines but I haven't broken a single one in this thread lmao. I admit some other times I've brought up faith may have been off-topic as it relates to the OP, but on topic as it relates to my reply.

Your comment broke this guideline: "Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

The topic of the article is a demographic study. You swerved directly into religious material itself. That's not the same topic at all. It's also flamebait because if you advocate your religious views in this way you will provoke others into advocating their religious views in an equally (let's call it) dedicated way, and off the cliff we will go. This isn't hard to predict.

We have tons of respect for people's religious views but this is a large public internet forum.
