Sigh. In the "I" statement context, I think Dr. Bob is correct. Tabitha is right, as I see it.
My objection wasn't in that area.
Incidentally, similar rules are observed on the Faith board about statements putting forth one faith as being a superior path. So that, for example, I don't think it would be acceptable under board guidelines to assert that the world would be better if everyone were Christian. Or that the world would be better if there was no liberal movement or no conservative movement.
Were she to have said "I sometimes wonder what the world would be like without religion." she would have been imagining what the world would be like without religion, and probably wouldn't have been flagged. But that's not what she said.
It's not just semantics.
But I grow weary.
