Can you guys imagine what that would do to this place?!
I consider the rules around here very lax, when you take into account the nature of this forum. I like them that way.
I think they're inviting to atheists and theists alike... although they do allow atheists to mock theists... and theists, don't usually mock, nor like being mocked by others. So, in practice, it ends up being an atheist freebie!
Up to a certain point, yes we allow it. The intent of the change is to not allow it to become overly repetitive, and to provide a level playing field as much as possible. People who on the balance show that they're here to participate are safe. Those who are evidently here to troll and flame, perhaps not so much.
The above is personal opinion, not official policy.
