If it's deemed to be preaching and proselytizing you get called more than names, you are issued a warning and the post gets deleted... if this happens enough, it has the potential to lead to a permanent ban
I guess it depends on how you approach it. Just make sure to read the forum rules so you know the boundaries here. If you're still unsure, you could post an example of your thread in the site feedback section so moderators can look over it. That section is kept private between you and the moderators.

Yes. There's multiple people here against those things.
People do it all the time.

Yes, but if you can only point to your interpretation of a holy book you will probably not be taken to seriously. And don't forget, morals were different in the past often for good reasons at that time. We may not be living under the same constraints today as people were living under in the past. An argument of "they used to do it that way" will not stand either. You will need to demonstrate why we should still do it that way.
And welcome to the forum.

Of course people who disagree are going to voice their opposing views. That's kind of the point of a discussion/debate forum.

Of course it's allowed, as long as it's worded in a way that follows the rules.

There are quite a few gay members it seems here. One thing that one must realize is that many of them will perceive an attack on homosexuality a personal attack against them. So one needs to tread lightly on both sides of this issue. I inadvertently offended a member that is trans due to my ignorance of the subject. So not only the religious can be guilty when it comes to such offenses.

This is a predominantly liberal forum.... it's amusing watching conservatives repeatedly kick a wall that doesn't budge.

I would also say that liberal ideas are not appreciated by many people in this forum. No matter how respectfully you express them
Democracy at its best.
It's not necessarily a matter of whether others 'appreciate' them, though.
It's a matter of whether they are within the rules. And whether the response to them is within the rules.

Right, and name calling, personal attacks, etc. are against the rules, so you should report it to the mods when you see it.

Regarding abortion, I'm Catholic and believe life begins at conception, so to kill an unborn baby is homicide.
Does that make abortion wrong? No not always...in fact, sometimes it's a very good thing. I live in the impoverished slums with the mentally ill, the drug addicted, the physically handicapped, the most unwanted, most abandoned, the homeless, and criminals... I would rather be aborted in the womb than be a large percentage of the people I run into on a daily basis.
I would also rather be aborted, than be the countless number of children born with birth defects, HIV, fetal alcohol syndrome, mental retardation, Etc
A lot of people are given life, and they turn into miserable angry, Godless, sinful people, that most Christians would consider hell bound anyway.
Better to be killed while you're innocent in the womb, than to live a miserable life and go to hell for all eternity. In view of this depressing but obvious reality, it's far far better to die as a baby, therefore abortion is often a very good thing, even from a Christian perspective!
Need I say more?
People get banned and reprimanded for post's the RF doesn't advertise it. Whole debate threads have been closed and removed. It is all done quietly but firmly. Read the rules and you will be fine.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
To me it's simply a matter of logical and intellectual consistency. I can "appreciate" just about any point of view, so long as it's discussed in a consistent manner and doesn't rest on fundamental double standards. The obverse to this is that I often end up in conflict with people whose views are similar to my own because they base them on inconsistencies and double standards.
