If you say it was a sincere question then I believe you, but it didn't come across that way - I'm afraid it came across as snarky provocation.

We're trying for a forum in which people exchange ideas thoughtfully and respectfully. Especially when the topic is divisive (as religion always is), it's deeply necessary to err on the side of the latter. Hopefully reading the site guidelines will clarify that! Note this one:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
