There is nothing in that message which is abusive to anyone. The poster was merely giving his/her opinion on their belief in the existence of God, same as you did in the previous message.

Which is a no-no done by both, Muhammad and Nicholas. See my post below.
Religious discussions are not allowed in the Lounge, and that is for a good reason as we see here.

The existence of god is not proven, but so is his inexistence.
Religion and any facts about it (and god, his existence or inexistence) are being discussed on the internet. I don't see it as a fact, it maybe was a rather bad attempt of a joke by Nicholas.

I like a quote that says:
Who believes needs no explanation, who don't believe wants no explanation
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
Religious topics are forbidden in the Lounge, and therefore we need to expand the list a bit:
Nicholas[^]
Muhammad[^]
Muhammad[^]
I could list a lot of more posts where you throw around religious things in the Lounge, which is a clear violation of the Lounge rules. I know that you most likely didn't wanted to violate the rules, but we are Software Developers, and not priests. If you must talk about religion you may get offended, something that happens very often when it comes to religion.
I don't want to say that Nicholas' post was appropriate or intelligent, nor not violating the rules. What I'm calling out is that you have violated the rules first, and this has nothing to do with religion. In the end, we should report both of you for being abusive and not following the rules, but since both of you are Lounge regulars this wouldn't bring any benefit - Both of you two need to behave and follow the rules, as everyone else on this site must.

Get a grip already!
Nicholas merely stated a fact, which can hardly be considered religious.
The other stuff on the other hand ...
Just my two cents!

You are of course entitled to your own opinion.
What I wanted to state in my post above is that if Muhammad wants Nicholas' post reported as abuse, we'd also need to report Muhammad's posts about religion.
By the way, this has absolutely nothing to do with my protector status; You can't discuss the existence of god without having a borderline religious touch in it. I know that I may be on the radar because of my protector status, but I don't have any moderation ability in the Forums, and therefore what I said is my personal opinion on the topic, and not any protector fanciness.
Me: I could list a lot of more posts where you throw around religious things in the Lounge, which is a clear violation of the Lounge rules. [...] If you must talk about religion you may get offended, something that happens very often when it comes to religion.

In the end, Nicholas post stays discussable, but I still think he would've been better of not posting it.

I was mereley making a little joke (note the smiley at the end of my post)
It was not my intention to make fun of any religion. I just saw a small opportunity and didn't think anyone on this site would be seriously offended by it. And it was not my intention to discuss religion.
(Besides I neither started that discussion and wouldn't have continued it)

That's what I thought, too - But there is a joke icon which should be used for jokes, it's there for a reason.
See, I personally don't mind your joke, nor do I mind Mohammad's posts. But Chris has banned religious stuff from the Lounge for a reason, and we shall play nice and follow these rules.

Yeah, I should have used the joke icon (yet I always forget changing that )
I thought the smily at the end would make it clear enough that it was a little joke. And yeah... Might have been best to have skipped posting that. But you don't really think about negative effects when you mean something as a joke. And beeing on a more technical oriented site I (obviously wrongly) assumed that it wouldn't really offend anyone to write something like that.
But still I feel like people are overreacting here a little...
And only because there are some general Lounge Roules doesn't mean they should be really applied to every single word or post (Take a look at rule #7 How many posts would need to be removed or reported as abusive for criticising the grammar or spelling of another member? Maybe this one[^]? Don't take me wrong I'm not perfect but currently you're pretty quick in judging others...)
