But that is what happens, the two posts I talk about were Christian posts, OK I am agnostic so I really shouldn't care, but if the only reason for downvoting them was that they are against the downvoter's ideals or beliefs (in this case I don't know if that applies as the downvoter is a well known bot) then you can obviously see the problem with downvoting.

And yet I have seen these days a lot of posts by one person who upvotes himself, is posting the same thing ten times, and none of you downvoting gurus who swear by downvoting have seen the need to downvote this. Are you guys afraid of downvoting him, or is it just cool to downvote someone when he can't hit back? See, I am against downvoting but if it has to be done do it fairly and do it completely don't be afraid of the consequences.
