Right! If I threatened him in much lesser ways, ironically I'd get banned from this forum.
That doesn't seem quite right, does it? I mean, if I said I have a brother who is a sniper and he's going to shoot someone in the head if they don't do what I say, that would be considered outrageous and I'd be banned. Rightly so, of course. But if I say do what I tell you or my invisible friend God is going to torture you forever, that's allowed.
I'm not criticising the forum rules at all, just showing how society has come to let some really dumb shit be acceptable.
I do wonder though if such indirect threats should be against the rules, by the logic above. Not that they bother me personally, they just make the person using the threat look like a complete idiot and it shows these religions up for the death cults that they are.
