The overriding concern of mine here is that the statement in question is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and it is not in accordance with your rule to not post what could put down those of other faiths.
Now if you put in the thread where the statement appears that:
[...the above could be saying an agenda not centered in Christ is a bad reason for an organized religion...],
Then that indicates that there is something that is not conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community, and obviously puts down those of other faiths that have their agenda not centered in Christ.
So that would satisfy the mission of the community for support and education because your statement there could show that the original statement is not supportive. For if it was, it would stand without comment from you.
The aspect of your rephrase could be understood differently by people with different depths of knowledge concerning comparative religions.
But be it as it may be, I would like for you to post the statement there to show that the statement by the poster is not what this forum condones and your statement would also show that you are repudiating any libel toward religions that do not have their agenda centered in Christ as being a bad reason as the original statement in question could promote.
