You also write something like that one belives it because their faith teaches it. You also write that one way for a statement to be approved by you is to preface it with {I believe}. And you also post something like that if something is uncivil, prefacing it with {I believe} does not make it civil.

So are {my faith says} and {I believe} and {my faith teaches} equivalent? I am unsure as to what you are meaning in relation to this and if you could clarify this, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly in relation to that you have posted that if the foundation of a faith puts down those of other faiths, that it is not acceptable to be posted here.

> I am unsure as to now that you post that one way for something to be acceptable here is to preface it with {I believe}. Could then I post the post that you post that I can not post here as being OK,[...that my god has revealed to me a commandment to me (the foundation of Jewdaism)...], in the form with the preface {I believe}? If so, then what in the original could mean that I did not believe it? Does it not go without saying that one believes what they post unless they preface it with that the do not believe it?
> Lou PilderDR. Hsiung,
I am unsure as to what you want to mean by the preface {people of my faith believe} as to if it is equivalent to {people believe it because their faith teaches it}.
I am wondering if you mean that {my faith says} is equivalent to, {the doctrine of the group that I belong to says} or not? If so, then if someone says that people of their faith {believe} XXX, do you want that to mean that[people of that faith{accept as true}] XXX because it is part of that group's doctrinal body? If so, could you further define what you mean as to if you mean that {believing XXX} is equivalent to {accepting XXX because it is a part of their group's foundational doctrines}, or is there a difference? An example of this could be that someone might {believe} XXX but not believe YYY and both may be part of their group's doctrinal body.
If you could clarify this, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
