YES, YES, YES!!! Give these people a place to to masturbate with
their atheist, PROVE IT PROVE IT, intolerace and closed mindedness.
But only if they promise not to cross post to talk.religion.newage.
Let our news group be a place where people with spiritual experiences
and beliefs can talk to each other without fear of being attacked
by atheists.
