Dog,
I'll post what is at the top of the faith board:
~~~~~
The idea here is support, so 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. In particular, agnostic and atheistic views are now considered not to be supportive of religious faith. Since these issues first came up(http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20010718/msgs/1854.html), there's been discussion of possible exceptions (http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020918/msgs/7871.html) and specific examples(http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020918/msgs/7889.html), and these guidelines may still be in a state of some flux. It's a challenge to foster this kind of discussion.
~~~~~
If you choose to say:"...and i think it is not of God and i demand that you take it back and apologize immediately! by saying this about protestants, that protestants say this, you are attempting to develop further schisms in the church... this is not of God, but of the devil..."
then your post is in violation of the guidelines of civility (Please don't...post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down...)as well as not following the ideas set forth at the top of the Faith page by Dr. Bob.
This board asks you have the same respect for others which "may mean not posting some aspects of some beliefs."

Some more civility guidelines from the FAQ: (http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil)It's fine to give others feedback as long as its constructive. It tends to be more constructive if you put things in terms of what the other person might do better rather than what they did "wrong". And it tends to be more conducive to harmony to talk about how you feel than what someone else did, for example, to use an I-statement like "I feel put down by what you said" instead of a you-statement like "you're so arrogant". But don't just word the latter as the former, as in "I feel Dr. Bob has gone overboard". :-)
