Dr. Bob,
You wrote,[...this is in fact about her belief, and as such I think it is actually closer to one of my OK posts.] "I {feel} I should have one God and no others before Him".
I have examined the poster's post in question and find that the reason for her belief is not because of her [feelings] but her belief, as she has stated here, is founded on the bible verses that she has quoted. She quoted Isaiah 43:11 and Malachi 3:6. to give the foundation for her belief about [believing in one God and should not have other Gods before Him.] Then she goes on to write that she, in faith, agrees with me and she writes,"I also believe that I [should have no other Gods before me."]. Are you saying that because a persons faith is founded on their word of God, in this case the poster's bible, that there can be a jump to conclude that the person's faith is based on their {feelings}? If so, could I not also have you make that same jump to conclude that my faith is based on my word of God and thearfore you could also make that same jump to conclude that my post that I have proposed is also OK here? If you do not think so, could you state what the difference in the two are that allows the one post to be OK here and that my post will not be OK here? If you could, it would help me to understand your thinking on this and I would be better able to understand why you will not permit me, without me being expelled from this community, to post my proposed post in question.
Best wishes,
Lou
