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

Here is what I would like for you to post in that thread where #5 appears, something like:

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.

You wrote,[...It's possible that some people could feel put down, yes...it's already understood that I am allowing it to stand...]
Now the statement puts down Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and all other organized religion that does not have its agenda centered in Christ, and I would think that members of those faiths could feel insulted by that you are allowing the statement to stand.
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
True or False
A. My terms of service, Lou, is that posters are not to post what could put down those of other faiths, but I really, all the time, meant that faiths such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and all other faiths that do not have their agenda centered in Christ, could have their faith put down here.
B. My TOS, Lou, states not to post what could put down those of other faiths, and I am changing that now to allow Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and all other faiths that do not have their agenda centered in Christ to be put down here.
C. My TOS, Lou, is to not allow what could put down those of other faiths. Since anti-Semitic statements are those that you want purged, since I am allowing the insult to Judaism, Islam and Hinduism and the others that do not have their agenda centered in Christ to stand as that they could be seen by a subset of readers as to be in the worst organized religion by the nature of what the statement could purport that you want me to post that it is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community and puts down those faiths that do not have their agenda centered in Christ, then I am also going to allow statements that put down Jews to be exempt from my rule to not post anything that could put down those of other faiths so that anti-Semitic statements will be allowed to stand.
Fill in the blank.
D. Since I do what in my thinking will be good for this community as a whole, Lou, it is good for this community for me to allow the statement in question to stand because, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
