Or is being able to separate the answer and your own feelings about a person and/or their religious beliefs the "impossible star" for this group?

I like to think that I can seperate my answers from my feelings about a particular group or individual. There are a couple of people who I avoid on here, but I just don't answer their questions at all. I do not use this as a forum for belittling or harassing anyone. I've seen several others who seem to be able to do the same. Just because I believe as I do doesn't make someone else wrong, stupid, or crazy. It just means that we think differently when we consider God or religion.
Of course, I'm not perfect, and I know I've gotten a little hot-headed in here, but for the most part it's not that difficult to consider someone else's feelings and beliefs before I speak, and to hold all beliefs as sacred - to the person who holds them.

It's a long road to travel and true Objectivity is a slow moving tortoise.
The arrow points the way ahead and subjectivity is behind it.
It's just a question walking or not and which direction you take.
Personally I am curious as to what the tortoise really looks like close up.
Aren't you?
ADDED 'Iron Handed Faith' you never cease to amaze me!
"antiagnostics" are you playing with words and it is I who is missing the point.
Or is it you who is lacking in the understating of your own words!
Please! You could have save yourself 5 letters if you had chosen not to use a double negation! ;-)
Oh please have mercy on yourself. lol

I'm only giving my honest answers.
More often then not. I answer with information I find online
And at times, I give my own opinion on the matter.
For some people who have a very strong conviction in their religion, it will be difficult to separate what they beleive in faith and what they just personally feel, since they are so interconnected.

My answers are consistent with the answers from Jesus and from the original Christians, as represented by the Fathers of the Church.

Jesus established only one Church, giving it the authority to bind and loose. I'm still waiting for ANY Protestant to demonstrate the historical continuity between Protestant organizations and the only Church Jesus authorized:

Absolutely right. I will freely admit that I don't think I always make that separation.

I'll take "impossible star" for $100 Jack...
Read through enough questions and you will see the source of it is mostly due to ignorance based on a lack of understanding anything outside people's little minds...there are more antagonistic attempts at wit posted by self proclaimed atheists than true questions...

people will always do anything they like, especially if they can get away with it with impunity.
