The issue here is the statement in question. Adding to it does not annul what it purports about those religions that have their agenda not centered in Christ.
When a Jew sees the statement, or an Islamic person, or others that are members of a religion that does not have their agenda centered in Christ, there could be a subset of those people that could consider the statement to be an insult to their religion and to themselves for being a member of such. I am asking that you post to that post that the statement could lead people of other faiths to feel put down because it is against your rules to post what could put down those of other faiths. I do not consider your addition to what is posted to annul the fact of what the statement in question purports as you agree that it could mean that organized religions that do not have their agenda centered In Christ could be bad religions.
I suggest that if you are unwilling to state that the statement in question is against your rules to not post what could put down those of other faiths, then could you post your rationale for such here? If you could, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
Also, I would like to go on to the other post in our discussion about the link to John 5, that puts down Jews, and see what your remedial action could be for that.
