In section one, part 12, of the forum guidelines, it says: "Forum signatures have a few rules they are as follows: No Images, limited to three lines of text, 10pt maximum font size. Signatures are also not a place for inappropriate material such as flaming, slandering, harassment or religious remarks."

There are members who quote religous scriptures in their signatures. Wouldn't that be prohibited by this guideline?

I think it refers more to signatures which flame other religions. Quoting a scripture does no harm, no matter from which religion you are from.. Flaming another religion is a sign of no-tolerance.

That makes sense. I hadn't considered it in that context; thanks.

Flaming another religion is a sign of no-tolerance.
Of course if that religion itself stands for intolerance and opression than going against it is hardly a sign of no-tolerance, at least unless you see tolerance for intolerance as something desirable.

And what religions that "stand for intolerance and oppression" do you know of?

It's either all of them or none of them.

According to the T700's resquest, the thread is now closed.

My original question was well answered. Could we close this thread before it gets nasty?
