I think this statement is fine.
But some of those verses should not be posted on this site, so you shouldn't quote them on Admin either. The fact that they're in the Bible doesn't mean that they can be posted on board.
Also, Babble might not be the proper place to express some of your views about the history of Christianity, for the same reasons.
Your freedom of speech is limited here.
Regarding the history on this site. It is unfortunate if in the past antisemitic statements have gone without censure. The deputies are very sensitive to antisemitic content, and we'll do our best to make sure that we enforce the already existing rules about sensitivity and civility to those of all religions. Dr. Bob is clear that he doesn't wish to allow statements that could lead those of any religion to feel accused or put down. But he doesn't go back years to add PBC's, and he just doesn't remove posts even if they are uncivil. There are some good reasons for this, including technical reasons such as the fact that a PBC is generally considered to cover all preceding actions. He has said many times that he prefers to look forward rather than go back, and I think posts that are years old will probably not be adjusted now, based on my knowledge of his traditional behaviors.
I don't know why Lou isn't allowed to post what the Rider said to him. My understanding of the rules is as I outlined in another post. If what he wishes to post falls into the what's allowable, or if it can be edited to fall within what's allowable, then he can post it.
