In reply to the discussion: Are Lutherans alienated/bashed here? [View all]grantcart
(53,061 posts)19. Lutherans and Episcopal are OK but Methodists and Presbyterians are scorned.
Seriously though the Lutheran minister upthread is pretty accurate.
There are many here who reflexively bash all religions and others that bash all things Christian.
If you have a thin skin on the issue then you will want to stay away from GD.
On the other hand if you are comfortable in your faith you should be able to defend its reasonableness.
I wouldn't take religiious discussions here too seriously, a lot of people are reacting out of personal anger at the way that they have been treated by Christians in the past.
You might find it a good place to practice turning the other cheek.

If there is any bashing of Lutherans it don't happen much and I haven't seen it my recollection.
