Given that no roleplay can be necessarily be viewed in an identical fashion due to the absence of emotional nuances in text play, there may be no guaranteed "facts" upon which to base discussions of religious topics, nor an honest and unbiased NPOV.
As long as you post to the discussion (as your Nation) with something like this ...
- "In the Tanah Burung Church, the ..."
- "Syskeyian Catholic doctrine clearly states ..."
... there will be no NPOV dispute, as long as the edits do not replace contrasting views.
This is NationStates, not real-life, and that is the perspective being shown here. If it differs from traditional or historic religious interpretations, so be it. There is NO single correct viewpoint in religion, so don't edit on the assumption that only yours is correct.
I see F's point, but I must disagree on the issue of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has, for centuries if not millennia, had a clearly defined stance on many different issues, including homosexuality. Whether these stances reflect the teachings of the "historical Jesus" or whether they were invented later is a different issue. If a NS country's church goes against the official RL church teaching, so be it, but they should say they are going against the traditional Church teaching, rather than merely doing something which "conservatives" abhor. ~Syskeyia
