Dr. Bob has recently changed the rules (although he may prefer the word clarification, it really amounts to a rule change) of posting on the faith board. The reason the quotes about Christianity were allowed and your proposed statement is not is all about timing. The quotes you are referring to were made before the rule change. I believe you were allowed to post many things before the rule change that might not be allowed now.
The only way you can conclude that Dr. Bob is favoring one religion over another is if *future* posts, posts made after the clarified rules, are allowed to be posted in favor of one religion but ones in favor of another religion are not. Why don't you wait and see. I think you will find that Dr. Bob will apply these new and far clearer rules in an evenhanded way. Certainly it is unfair to accuse him of anything without waiting to see. You can't use posts from the past.
I also don't think you need to worry about Dr. Bob deleting your prior posts that were allowable under the old rules but would not now be allowable. I really don't think he will delete your posts. I also don't think that anyone else's posts will be deleted. Nor will anyone be PBC'd or anything for a post that took place before the rule clarification, I'm sure. Please don't upset yourself about something that is unlikely to happen. You have stated that all this is bad for your health. Please wait and see if something happens before you get upset. It would be far better for your health, I'm sure.
Take care, Lou. And please watch the faith board to see if the new rules are unevenly applied before you upset yourself over potential unfairness.
