I believe that christianity is a system of "harmful lies about the nature of
things" (Aldous Huxley, quoted from memory), so while I'll certainly defend 
your freedom of belief and expression, I'd personally rather you kept your 
religion to yourself.

Why not keep the net for shared interests, instead of importing the age-old
seeds of division and conflict?
