Law of One Religion?

[Monica]

I'm talking about your signature because I feel that veiled dogmatic statements are EXACTLY how religion takes hold.

Ok, fair enough. Any statement can be taken literally and become part of a dogma. One of the examples you gave - Embrace your darkness could - be construed as Evil is ok...embrace your urges to go on a murderous rampage in the mind of one so inclined.

What I'm saying is that someone may believe something you write on face value, often due also to the emotional charge the words carry.
Religion requires one to believe something one is told without personal experience.

Is it the words that carry the emotional charge, or does the emotional charge come from within the person?

Case in point: People say they have a problem with my sig because it's 'dogmatic' and 'telling them what to do' yet you can see from my Eating Tomatoes is STS thread, the exact same sig, but just with the word tomatoes instead of meat, carries no emotional charge whatsoever.

Why do you suppose that is? Why is no one concerned about abstaining from tomatoes being made into a religious dogma?
