"Mod consensus". I never broke any rules and I try very hard not to let misogynistic or hateful type comments get to me at all, but I guess more and more I was coming off as having an "attitude" (and I guess that is true, certain posters had started to wear on me a bit emotionally); and I ended up deeply offending someone there indirectly when I did not mean to which caused a bit of drama.
I was warned once for proselytizing very early on; I never trolled.

Well...yes. I certainly didn't join Catholicism because the Bible was so "historically accurate" if that is what you are trying to get at.
"History" connotes the entire history of Christianity (or Islam as the case may be) in general.
Though learning history and other works of ancient literature (such as the Epic of Gilgamesh for example) does help put the Bible in context I think.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
