No, it isn't. The rule is a lot more narrowly constructed than that, especially since we recently changed it. I'll further note that the rule rule change was made specifically to protect theists (such as yourself) who are here to engage in discussion.

If/when you started throwing around comments that specific people were going to be damned to hell, you might run afoul of that rule, but until you do, you're pretty safe.
When did the rules change?
And what does this mean
"Directed at forum members, rather than a general description of beliefs. "
I get directed at members but what is a "general description of belief?"
Do general descriptions include unsolicited bible verses?

I had to leave a link because it was apparent by your last post that you did not recognize that an appeal to probability or a sweeping generalization was even a logical fallacy. If you care to think back to my original statement, I said your constant attacks on my lack of a formal education was the appeal to probability. Supposedly Because I did not meet this superficial standard of yours, that nothing I could say could be taken seriously. Upon the conclusion of this fallacy you make a sweeping generalization attempting to dismiss everything I have said. However in doing so you have only proved your own intellectual dishonesty. The fact the you continue to press your points based on these fallacies, Now that I have eliminated any claims to ignorance you may have to them, your intellectual integrity can be legitmatly called into question. Because Your line of reasoning has been weighed, measured and found wanting, by your own standards.
