I would appreciate avoiding cross-posting to religious
newgroups from net.philosophy .  Insofar as those who have
succumbed to the idiocy of religion are willing to employ
the arguments from faith that are the essence of religion,
the level of activity in this newsgroup will tend to rise
and the quality of argument will degenerate.  Insofar as
they do not argue from faith, they are not being religious.
Let those who are interested in philosophy get it other than
from net.religion .

Philosophy climbed back out of the religious abyss centuries
ago.  I'd hate to see it shoved back in, here or elsewhere.
