Not so. If I want to discuss religion, I can go to a religion
newsgroup. In fact, studying all religions is an interest of mine. So
far nothing I've seen, read or been told has changed my mind on how I
feel about organized religion, but I am willing to discuss it. As far
as the Atheist newsgroup is concerned, I am still involved with it,
even though there is more arguing than debating and discussing going
on. This newsgroup, however, is not the place to discuss this. This is
Anthropology, not Atheism or religion.
