> I guess because it's an application of the rule that I don't really understand, and where I'm afraid that I could inadvertently make the same sort of error, my main reaction is that I should try not to post on Faith.

This is a difficult thing to accept. It is too close to being civil to want to deal with.

Knowing that you are on the Faith board, under what circumstances would you say:

"Not all religions are all true."

Why would you say that?

I can't imaging that you would. Do you see that it is a negative statement that is generally unsupportive?

Still, it seems logical, right?

How do you know what religion I am? IF my religion is different than the poster's religion, and IF the poster believes that his religion is all true, THEN my religion is included in the group he is describing as being not all true. * ASSUMPTION: The poster believes his religion is all true. THEREFORE, he is IMPLYING that my religion is not all true, and that his religion is the only true religion.

* AUTHOR: "I believe in what the scripture says about it"

If I believe that my religion is all true, this statement is likely to evoke negative emotions - I might feel put down.

Understand?

I have not been injured by this. I am trying to illustrate how the statement in question can be interpreted as an infraction and justify the decision of Dr. Bob to cite it as an infraction.

I hope you don't avoid the Faith board because of this.

You really can't ask for a rephrase. You just can't find any positive or supportive way to insist that there are religions that are not all true. Maybe just a PBC. I doubt we will see a rescinding of the block. I wish the length were reduced, though.
