> You wrote,[...I don't see how saying your favorite book...could be uncivil...].
Yup.
> What if one wrote here that their favorite book was,[..The Protocals of the Learned Elders of Zion...]?
IMO that would be one example of saying what your favourite book was. And so that would be fine.
> It is my understanding that it is OK to write what you believe as long as what you believe {does not put down others}.
Saying that something is your 'favourite' book doesn't really entail any beliefs except perhaps
'I believe there are books'
'I believe this book is my favourite book'
I don't see how either of those can be considered uncivil.>The question then becomes if the poster believes what the book or song purports.
But the poster didn't post anything about whether they believed what it purports or not. When people see whether posts are civil or not we have to go with what the poster actually says. We can't 'imagine how they might' answer further questions and consider their original post uncivil because of stuff that they didn't even say.
>Dr. Hsiung has asked another poster her in a similar situation if they belived that they were saying that (all) or just {them{. The poster replied {all}.
>Perhaps Dinah or Mark H could do what D. Hsiung did in this type of situation and ask the poster if the blood of Jesus is necessarry for all people to have their sins washed or that others can have their sins washed without the blood of Jesus
This seems to be worrying you, Lou.
Why don't you ask them?
