W,
You wrote,[and your point is...?]
Wendy, my point is that there are serious things here that are life or death to some and the faith board is a place that people can come to in search of peace in their faith with their God.
And Dr. Bob has said that to make a false statement about eating blood is not supportive and I agree even if the poster lables it "humor".
Even a false statement labled as humor can have disasterous consequences. There have been hundreds of people killed this week because a journalist made what he said was to be a humorous statement about Muhammad marrying a beauty queen in a country in Africa.
Now am not condoning what has happened in that country, but only pointing out the seriousness of a person's faith. And the topic of eating blood is a very serious topic, whether you are joking or not, to many people's faith as I have posted.
Dr. Bob is trying to develop a faith board for those that want comfort and peace in relation to God. The board is in flux now, and these issues need to be discussed so that the board can make decisions about policy so that the goals of the board can be accomplishd.
