Dr. Bob,
You wrote that the posts were [too close].My proposed post that you wil restrain, says, [The Rider said to me ,"I am your God, you shall have no other Gods before me."]. Your post, that is an example of being not OK, says, [my faith says that I should have one God and no others before Him.]
In your [guidlines and exceptions], the rational for OK or not OK that you write after your discussion with Dinah about my proposed post, is: ["To say that one belief should be embraced is to say that others should not. Which puts down other beliefs. I think it is more civil not to tell others what to believe."]
Could you clairify the following so that I will be better able to understand your answer to the previous request of mine for clarification?
1) Are you saying that your [not OK example], which you write is [too close], is equivalent to my proposed post?
2) If so, are you saying that your [not OK example] violates your rational of [...not to tell others what to believe] and thearfore my post , being [too close], also violates your rational of [...not to tell others what to believe]? If so, could you clarify why your [not OK example] says that it is violating your rational of [...not to tell others what to believe] when your example post that you say is not OK says,[My faith says that [I] should have one God and no others before Him], not that [others] should have one God and no others before Him.?
