LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY sunfell)

Hello, all. I would like to commend everyone here for being great contributors to this community. It is your articles, links to news stories, and such that keep this community active and flourishing. It has occurred to me lately that with the large number of readers, there will be some who have either been traumatized or are sensitive to traumas that are specific to the cruel side of extremist Christianity. Reading such things can trigger flashbacks to those who have suffered these traumas at the hands of parents or co-religionists, and can give them great distress when they come across these things.

With that in mind, I would ask you to please put potentially triggering articles behind LJ cuts, with a text inclusion that warns readers of potentially distressing or triggering material. The two major 'triggers' are child cruelty and abuse to adults, including (and especially) rape. If you do not know how to create an LJ cut, there are detailed instructions here.

Thank you all for your help here. This is a difficult subject by its very nature, let's try to make it as palatable as we can.
