1. I thought the current religion forum was fairly well mannered
compared to the possibilities.

2. It's a deceptive lull.

7. Btw, by my count, the lull lasted 56 minutes.

3. Even your alleged "truce" is just an attempt to proselytize.

"The Peace and Truce of God movement was one of the ways that the Church attempted to Christianize and pacify the feudal structures of society through non-violent means."

When you can have a conversation without invoking your god, lets talk.

10. Yes, it is predictable that your intent will be easily seen for what it is.
Perhaps I am mistaken. Can you explain why you would use such an archaic term if you didn't intend its meaning?

4. So you're basically saying that the general rules of conduct on DU aren't enough?
Personal attacks and broad-brush smears are against the rules, and certainly will be on DU3 as well. What are you hoping to accomplish with a "truce"? Would no one be allowed to post a different opinion anymore?

9. OK, I promise not to burn down the villagers' huts...
...and I won't beat up any old, defenseless widows.

I was pretty much following that policy anyway, but I'm gladly willing to make it official.

11. Well, I'm becoming a Goth Xian so I can help sack and pillage Rome.

12. I try to avoid personal attacks, but some of my critiques of religion, or to religious argument,
seems offensive to some believers.
