I haven't said that.

You said this thread was supposed to be an actual debate or discussion and not about mocking. Yet, the thread clearly starts with that premise.

Whether it's mocking religion itself or individual members/people, that is the tone set by the thread. It's not posing or asking for debate or discussion.

It's taking the piss with an offhand comment and the tone of the thread followed from that. If the title at the top of the page wasn't "Serious Debates & News" I'd assume we were in chat and games.

I hazard a guess if other types of discussions began with an OP like that, it would probably be moved to another section (as several of them always are). But then a mod found it funny, so horses for courses I guess.
