As a Creationist, I find this post extremely offensive.

As atheist I don't find it offensive :)

Im not sure about this, but it doesn't seem to be an actual flame. It doesnt attack anyone and I dont think it is meant to be offensive, merely a view of the poster. Perhaps it could have been phrased slightly differently, but I dont think its a flame.
i don't see how that is a flame. that's a personal opinion, and she even is refering to how she would feel about herself.
i will be really disappointed if that post is classified as "flame," personally, but if it is then please let me know...i share her opinion, and i will need to be notified that i am not allowed to express it on the forums.

First, I'm surprised you only found that one post offensive.
Second, on the internet you don't have any right not to be offended.
Third, If you're offended by religious themed threads on NS forums then maybe you should look into posting somewhere else. NS is full of this stuff.
Lastly, don't take offense to what I'm saying. I'm just sharing my position with you just as BitchKitten did. I interperated his/her's post as "everyone should believe what they believe for their own reasons. Last second conversions just show how empty a persons beliefs were."
P.S. In the interest of full disclosure I am an atheist. I have respect for everyone's religious beliefs but I don't like it when others dictate their beliefs to others, demanding that they change their views. If your interested in having a civil discussion on this TG me.

This is not Mod-actionable.
In the interests of full disclosure, I am a devout Catholic.

Ima creationist as well but I find nothing in that post insulting to me. Its nothing more than an opinion. Personally I think a lot of people here need to chill out and not get offended if someone says something that they disagree with. (Wonders how many people will take offense to my opinion of opinions)
