I feel it is absolutely fine to bash ideas and even some man-made doctrines. But it is never okay to slander the things of God. Looking back, there are some discussions I regret being involved in. Not necessarily because I did anything wrong, but because there was no real value in the discussion. (Philippians 4:8)
