Religious flamewar is not allowed here, so please don't post like this to HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If you don't want flame wars then why you allow posts like this "Tell HN"? It's the nature of religions to dogmatically tell people how to live so any religions posts will undoubtedly attract flame wars; might as well post about Donald Trump trial and not expected political flame wars.

Religion-related topics are not anathema here, although religious flamewar is, and of course it's not easy to keep the two separate. Religion has been (and is) such a big part of humanity that it would be inconsistent with HN's core value of intellectual curiosity to try to declare it all off topic ( https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... ). p.s. Please let's not go into name-calling like "fr…

Sorry for calling it fruit-cakery. I can't edit my comment now, or I would. I'd leave the rest. I think celebrating religion has no place here, but I'm clearly in the minority. Do I have an intellectual curiosity? Yes. But I'm also curious about cancer. The self-congratulatory feel-good tone of this post and its comments don't sit right with me, but obviously, a bunch of people are into it.

If there were an HN thread celebrating some holiday in Scientology or FLDS or the Westboro Baptist Church, would you hold people to these same rules and flag any criticism? The founder of Islam was far worse than the founders of any of the religions I listed. Why does he get a pass? Just because billions of people think he was a good person?

You're doing what I just asked the GP not to do.

So critical discussion isn't allowed around religion because it would be "a flame war"? This is so odd.

I have new neighbors who are Muslim, how would I wish them happy Eid Mubarak? Like a card or something? I barely know them they’re new, but want them to feel welcome, think they might be the only Muslim neighbors

You can't post slurs or religious flamewar to HN. As you've done so repeatedly in this thread, I've banned this account.

The onus is on commenters not to post inflammatory/aggressive/flamewar things, even when they find a topic activating. The idea on HN is to find the capacity to discuss topics, even divisive topics, thoughtfully and respectfully.

That's not so hard, since it's always an option simply not to post anything, and there is always plenty of other material to pay attention to.
