Sounds like a good program.   It would be nice if net.religion would
follow  the example of this program.  If instead of arguing endlessly
why religion X is wrong (or right),  people on the net would summarize
their opinion on the religion issues.  I don't think it is possible
to debate the "rightness" or "wrongness" of a religion or religions,
as different people, when they discuss religion, employ different logic 
standards. I propose an alternative.   Let each netter summarize his views on
this matter in a short article  (long articles tend to be complicated).
I don't think we can convince each other, but we might have a better
chance of understanding each other.
