     I honestly don't understand why religion prompts complaints and
insults more than a discussion of the weather would (both being discussions
about the way we see the world around us), but it certainly isn't the topic
to be discussed in this news group.  If I have set up the header to this
article correctly, followups to it will go to net.religion.  If someone was
offended by seeing a cross in a signature in net.micro.mac, surely a
religious discussion here must be much more offensive to him.
