To make sure, why don't you do THAT from now on whenever you expect your
article to appear in net.religion/talk.religion.misc? If you insist on
using Bible as a "Word of God", you can do it in the special sand-box
created for x-tians only, mod.religion.christian (former n.r.c). Just 
assume that most of the people reading your article are HASA members who
do not presuppose the absoluteness or correctness of scriptural references.

And, BTW, there AREN'T just TWO points of view (Xtian and the OTHER). There
are MANY points of view. Rest assured, Islamic, Taoist and Atheist viewpoints
(just to take a random 3) differ from each other as much as from Xtianity.
