Antisemitism is not a matter of faith. It is a matter of hate. It has no more place on the Faith board as does discussions of racism and apartheid.
The Faith forum is moderated differently than the other boards. It helps to review the preamble at the top of the Faith board to understand its personality and how it works.
Of course, the judging of the appropriateness of posts on the Faith board is the role of administration, and therefore belong on the Administration board."Since the idea here is support, please don't pressure others to adopt your beliefs or put them down for having theirs. Sorry, but this may mean not posting some aspects of some beliefs."
Lou Pilder has some legitimate questions based upon the verbiage in the quote cited above. However, I thought they had been ruled upon a long time ago. If Dr. Bob is willing to revisit issues regarding statements of exclusivity to be found in the writings and philosophies of some religions, it might be more constructive to comment on the philosophy of the Faith board and its operation.
"Nobody is right if everybody is wrong" - Stephen Stills
I often refer to this lyric when I feel the need to exercise tolerance. It allows me to focus on the positive aspects of a religion so that I may profit from them and incorporate them into my belief system.
