Can't Post

I had no intention of insulting anyone's beliefs--I have the greatest respect for all faiths. I only can speak from my heart as an ignorant human, and admit that I can be wrong.
A few years back we would not allow posts on some subjects at all because the discussions always, without fail, went down in flames. In recent years we've seen that the board community can discuss some very sensitive topics, such as religion, in a mature and respectful way - resulting in some pretty interesting discussions - so the admins became hands-off but watchful to see how each new discussion progresses. We'll step in only when it's necessary. I would prefer we not go down in flames. So thank you again, and I appreciate the opportunity for joining my voice with all of yours.
" Well well!", said a voice. "Just look! Bilbo the hobbit on a pony, my dear! Isn't it delicious!" "Most astonishing wonderful!"
