Would it be defamatory to assert, as some of my relatives do about me, that I am damned to hell because I don't believe what they believe?
It cannot be that every misstatement of another's beliefs is in fact defamatory.
Even if it is, I suspect the damages would be $1.00.

Yesterday, June 4, plaintiff Edith Rapp issued an amended complaint in her lawsuit against Jews for Jesus.--
The amended complaint still constains a defamation count, this time asserting that while it would not necessarily be defamatory to depict a Christian as belonging to a particular Christian denomination, it is defamatory for a Jew to be portrayed as a member of a Christian denomination when she is not Christian.
