> The statement in #5 puts down Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and all other organized religion that does not have its agenda centered in Christ. This you agree on with me.

It's possible that some people could feel put down, yes.

> I am asking for you to post a repudiation in the thread where the statement appears so that:
> A. Readers know that the statement is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community
> B. And that the statement puts down those of other faiths.
> I think that you could do this and include your rephrase that you think would annul the fact that the original statement puts down those of other faiths. Then readers could post criticisms of your rephrase there as to if they think that your rephrase does not annul the fact that the original statement puts down those of other faiths. I do not think that you need my permission to agree with your rephrase

True, I don't, but I like it when we can agree on something.

> If you are going to delay this and leave the statement to stand until I agree with your rephrase, then to protect innocent members here from any backlash to them because you will not apply the rule to not post what could put down those of other faiths, then I am asking for you to post the following. Here is what I would like for you to post in that thread where #5 appears, something like:
> [...Readers please note that the statement in #5 puts down those of other faiths that do not have their agenda centered in Christ. I am allowing it to stand but that does not mean that other members endorse me doing that and I take full responsibility for leaving the statement to stand as could be seen by a subset of readers as conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and supportive. And to those readers that feel insulted that I am allowing your faith to be put down, I am not concerned about how you feel, for my concern is what will be good for this community as a whole.

I think it's already understood that I'm allowing it to stand and taking responsibility for my actions and that others may not agree with them. I'm concerned both about people feeling insulted and about what's good for this community as a whole.
