>> Why not just say then that he disagrees with the writer saying that his/her religious "beliefs" are "facts" and should therefore be administratively deleted without adding that he "thinks" or "believes" differently in his religion (or any other.)
Well there are many different ways it could be said but he's not me, so he'll express his feelings in his Lou way, nobody elses, just as I express myself in my Gabbi way. I wouldn't expect otherwise. And by saying that he didn't believe "Jesus is lord" to be true, he also included the possibility that people of beliefs other than his own may have been offended by that statement, that is perfectly in sync with the spirit of the Faith board, which is to be supportive of all beliefs.
> By mentioning that jews don't "believe" or "think" that Jesus is God, he runs the risk of offending someone as well.
Not really, most people who post on Faith are aware that there are religions that don't consider Jesus to be God, however even if it did offend, to not be allowed to say what one's religious beliefs are on a mult-faith board would be ludicrous, and this was something meant to be applicable in the context of the Faith board, and the Faith Board guidelines.
> P.S. I'm not offended by either position. Are you?Yes I do get offended when people state their belief as being the only truth, However, what goes on on the faith board doesn't really get to me, but to some it's very important.
