Honestly, do you feel oppressed by the topic? The separation of church
and state allows for individuals to freely practice and discuss their
beliefs without imposing those beliefs on any of its members. We're not
imposing beliefs here on you. This isn't like posting the Ten
Commandments in a school or forcing kids to profess that they believe
in God in the pledge of allegiance. This is a group of loosely formed
individuals who were posting something that they thought might be of
interest to other members of the group. Obviously you're not
interested. Move on. Life goes on. You're free to ignore the topic.
Finally, keep IRC stuff on IRC.
The Final Word,
Dom
