Even though you claim Christian forums are strict, they are nothing compared to other forums I have visited.
There is a site called Gamespot where they had a thread trashing another website....as soon as I stated that the staff on the other site were more mature, they went and deleted the whole thread. I may have gotten into trouble for even saying something that mundane.
Those Christians sites take those stances because they were created to talk about God and not about having pissing contests....even the sites that allow it, tend to keep it segregated from the rest of the forum.
The religion was seen as a rival of Christianity as a way of the elite trying to revive paganism against the threat of the popularity of the Christian religion amongst the masses.
The sole similarity would be the initiation meal resembling communion, but since food is a common link regarding fellowship (non-religious view), the early apologists were just wasting their time with the issue.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
