I've never known him to have any particular feelings about any religion at all, or to show any particular familiarity with any religion. I have no private knowledge of his personal beliefs, but I'd tend to believe it's not a prime concern to him if he's religious at all.

> But Lou, have you not noticed that Dr. Bob is ignoring everyone's notifications? Mine included? He's not monitoring the boards! I suppose it's barely possible that he might deign to honor us with his presence on an irregular basis, and that might keep us somewhat in line. But he's not routinely replying to anyone's notifications. I've pretty much quit trying. Learned helplessness.

> But Lou, his prohibitions against telling everyone who doesn't believe as you do that they're wrong or evil or going to h*ll is not limited to the Jewish faith. Plenty of Christians have been told that as well. As have Democrats and Republicans. His rules were made to keep divisive topics like religion and politics to interfere with the primary purpose of the board.

> Really, Lou. I wasn't feeling overly fond of Dr. Bob, and you've made me not only defend him, but actually like and support him again.

> This is what I meant by pragmatism. You started out with one goal but achieved a different one - Dr. Bob's goal.

The fire of hatrd toward the Jews is still burning here. And as long as members here want to defend Mr Hsiung for allowing the post to go unsanctioned, then the longer the fire hate burns here.
In this post, which is in the archives that people can access at their will, hatred toward the Jews is spewed out upon the members here. And as long as members here deny the reality that the statements are there unsanctioned that stoke the furnace of hate, hatred toward the Jews, then longer the flame burns.
