I think I would rather speak more generally and less specifically regarding the posted content that appears to be discordant with the posting policy as described by this website's owner and moderator.

I think we both know how contentious discourse regarding religion can be. I am not prepared to enter into a conversation regarding specific religious doctrines. I think you have been exquisitely specific in identifying one point of contention between two religions. I don't think I can add anything to make your example more visible. I guess I don't want to spend the time and energy locating mines on the Faith board and detonating each one of them. It would be easier to just shut the whole thing down.
