anyone from another religion who suggests that his religion is false. Also, is it reasonable to refute a religion by quoting its own holy book(s) to show its falsity? There seem to be many questions and answers reported where the "reporter" is PROBABLY of the religion criticised. This may be tantamount to denial of freedom of speech.

Of course not because that seriously cripples the possibility for debate. Besides if your faith isn't strong enough to withstand a little criticism, then you don't have my sympathy. As far as using a religion's holy text against itself, absolutely! The proof is, as they say, in the pudding.

No it is not reasonable to report someone just because they criticise your beliefs. To quote falsities/contradictions in religious works is easy but does not refute the religion. What is important is the fundamental philosophy of the works.

Everyone has the right to their own opinion, this is what wars were fought for. If we have evidence that reinforces our ideas, then we should be permitted to produce it. We do not, however, have the right to ridicule or badmouth the beliefs of others and this, I think, is what angers a lot of people. I have never reported anyone, but I have to say that I'm appalled by the lack of consideration exhibited by some people using this site.

I want Yahoo had a tighter leash on reporting. Signing in on the instant i stumbled on that an answer (which became actually a perfect answer) from months in the past have been given reported. i'm unsure why. It wasn't even in R&S and that i did no longer injury any policies. i do no longer care that lots, yet i'm getting annoyed dropping my time beautiful solutions that could desire to no longer get reported contained in the 1st place.

same as Kevin except I do feel responsible to report pornographic content or hate speech because I feel it creates a hostile environment here.

No, everybody has the right to their opinion, so long as it doesn't threaten anybody, and the person is not trolling for kids. Let's not abuse the report button.

I don't report people who disagree with me or hold religious opinions contrary to my own. For that I would have to judge them, which my Christian beliefs prohibit.

Also why do people leave religious quotes that are about 200 paragraphs long on here,do they think we will read them!

the answer is not to report them but to argue their corner and defend their beliefs or else they can't and are pretty much agreeing with whoever upset them

Free speech matey!!! Report who you like.
I am with Voltaire on this one "I may not agree with what you have to say but I will fight, to MY, death your right to say it."
