I have seen several posts of this character go by my screen, and for the
most part I have ignored them. I would like to point out, however, that
this is a list for the discussion of tlhIngan Hol, not for the discussion
of religious opinions. I personally have no problems with religious
discussions, as I am a theologian by trade, but I have felt no pressing
need to annoy any of you with my doctrines and opinions about religious
issues. I do that on a religious list instead of here. I would
appreciate it if others could show the same respect.
