Unless you live in Egypt or the Sudan or some other place where religious persecution, harrassment or vilification of Christians occurs, you shouldn't need the added support of the moderating staff. If you live in a place where Christianity is the majority belief or a big part of the majority cultural background, why would it need protection?I think GAF moderation, on the whole, is fantastic once you accept that Christianity is not a protected class.
Yes, there are those here who are openly hostile to Christianity, a few who are more than a little irrational in their disdain and some who readily swallow and parrot the most ludicrous pseudohistory if it makes Christianity look even slightly bad. It doesn't change the fact that as a faith and as a cultural force, Christianity has got it pretty good.
Female, gay and trans posters, though, don't have it so good. Not in their everyday lives and certainly not on the wider Internet. By banning slurs, like bitch, cunt, fag, dyke, trap and tranny, you create a safe space where people who fall into the aforementioned categories can speak their mind without having to put up with the kind of poison they have to deal with every day.
So yeah, unless your family is living in fear of being rounded up and imprisoned/tortured for not making sacrifices to an implacable emperor, you can stand to take a little criticism every now and again.
