While I certainly don't mind discussions on religion or most other topics, I can see Christine has a valid enough point and it certainly wasn't Pauline who started the topic. I can take some of the blame for fanning things along. I note from Neil's email earlier that possibly some mails are not getting through so it's possible I missed the ones about ripping people to shreds and being destructive. I've just been through most of the related mails and can't see anything about that.

Please observe the culture of the group, and resist the temptation that all true "believers" feel to evangelise.
