My view on this is, so long as people aren't being insulting, if we are permitted to say something like we believe Jesus is God, then people who don't believe that should also be able to express their view that they regard him as a myth or a historical figure. It feels uneven for me to be able to talk about my religious beliefs, but for people who don't believe to have to bite their tongue if I say something they think isn't real or true. I am a little unclear on the forum policy regarding discussion about religion. I did like seeing a thread on a religiously themed game, and I saw a lot of great posts adding knowledge to the discussion (often from a variety of religious and non-religious viewpoints which I saw as a positive). I think that can be done without people insulting one another. If someone says they think the resurrection is a myth for instance, I am fine with that. I've had a number of beliefs on this over the course of my life (ranging from a very literal view, to a skeptical view, and back into a view of belief). I don't think a poster has to share that view. But if people want to debate the point, and other issues associated with it, there is probably a better platform or venue for that.  Even the insulting stuff doesn't really bother me personally (I can even find it amusing if the humor behind it is inventive). But I think on a forum like this one, that kind of fiery exchange is something that is pretty discouraged. So keeping the thread on the topic, allowing for people to express their real views, without getting into that territory, seems the best way to go about it (so that no one is posting with a hand tied behind their back, but we are still able to have this interesting RPG topic)</blockquote>
