Flame on!..................

	Having been harassed by "Fundamentalist Christians," I object to anyone
promoting the falsity that "Jesus Christ" will "save" them.  Spare me from
these criminals who call on their deity to justify illegal activities.  I will
*not* read anyone's articles who throws their religious (cult) beliefs up,
even though they may aside from that have something worthwhile to say.  I
agree that the banning of religious statements of belief from this discussion
is a sad thing to see, but I must call for it in the face of the abuses
of the concept of religion that have been made (not necessarily on this
network, as of yet).  I believe that preaching one's religion to people
who have not asked for such statements is just as bad as coming right out
and saying what these people think:  my religion is the only one right
way to live, and yours is a bunch of <?*&%>.  This attitude is offensive.
If people on the net want to discuss religion per se, there is always 
net.religion .

Flame off!...............
