I agree with Hank's comments. Personal beliefs are part of what makes individuals unique. Unique individuals associating together form a community.
If tag lines discribing an individual's preferences should be removed, then all tag lines should be banned (including those advertising websites).
I was equally struck by the tag line quoting George Orwell's "Animal Farm."
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." from Animal Farm by George Orwell
If only "religious" tag lines are considered off limits, does that not mean that non-believers would be considered more equal than believers?
I do not, for a minute, think that my tag line is going to change or influence someone's belief system. It is an expression of who I am and what I believe. Nothing more and nothing less.
At the same time...I am not so weak minded that someone else's tagline will influence what I believe and hold true.
If a tagline is abusive, defamitory or offensive to the general populas, then it should be banned. Otherwise, I think it sould be considered an expression of individual personality.
Just like any other member post, I have the option to read or not read anything here. There are some members, whose post I do not read, because I know I generally disagree with their statements. Excersing my right "not to read" does not in any way infringe on their right to post. Nor, does their post offend me, because I have chosen not to read it, anyway. Neither of our "rights" have been abused, and both of us remain happy.
Now, I suggest we have a collective cup of coffee :coffee: and go back to making beautiful pens together. After all, isn't that what brought us all here in the first place?
