In all due respect, I think it is very common knowledge that Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity. Hence; the first 6 letters of the word CHRISTianity. Without Christ, Christianity would not exist. I consider myself to be very sensitive to the feelings of others, in fact, too much to my own detriment at times. If you were to post ANYTHING whatsoever of your beliefs, I would not feel offended and I do not understand why my talking about Christ being the way to MY salvation should lead others to feel put down. The world is comprised of many different religions each with their own set of beliefs. Are we to be offended should anyone mere mention what their own beliefs are? I am not telling someone of another religion that they must believe the same as what I do, I am only stating what *my* beliefs are. Surely, people of other faiths have heard the concept of what salvation is comprised of in Christianity.
Also, you mention that I could propose my question to Dr Bob. Lou, this thread IS directed to Dr Bob.

> Well, the rule is not that you can not talk about Jesus Christ, but the rule is that posts are not acceptable in relation to the guidlines of the forum [...if they put down those of other faiths...]. Now as to what constitutes what {puts down} those of other faiths can be seen in the past practice of posts that have been addressed by the administration as putting down those of other faiths and a search can bring them up.
> In the case of your proposed post, it is my opinion, and I believe, that the proposed post is not acceptable in relation to the guidlines of the forum even if "I believe" or "people of my faith believe" is put in the post. This is my opinion. You could submit your proposed post to Dr. Hsiung and get a determination as to its acceptability or not. But if the foundation of a faith puts down those of other faiths,I believe that the guidlines of the forum make the post unacceptable.
