Okay, you can, as long as you do say that you are not of that religion and do not have first hand experience. It's just that I see so many religious threads where, with two people of different religons conversing calmly, one of them takes a break and a third person steps in trying to fill the void when they know nothing. They might mean well, or not, but they still just cause trouble.

I can't force you to do this, but I do implore you. Don't post what others think, and if you do at least let people know you're using second hand info.

but it works so much better when i say what the other person believes then argue against it. if i have to go with reality, i might lose the argument
