> It just isn't reasonable, by the very definition of faith, for you to require that people posting here be supportive of all faiths, because that would mean that they would have to deny their own beliefs and convictions to do so.
That's true. It's not actually being supportive that's required, it's not being unsupportive. It's always fine not to respond at all. Like on the other boards.
> And when you ask people to alter their messages, one of two things has to happen. They either have to deny their faith, or they have to change their faith
Changing the wording of a message doesn't necessarily mean changing its meaning...
> Now if I stated that in my faith there is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ, would you defend my right to say that?
Sure, have you looked at the "specific examples" link in the introduction to this board? That's an OK way to word that message.
