Ok, then let me add my assent to Roy's ammended position.  I agree
that we shouldn't be talking here about topics such as whether or not
it's rational to believe in God.  There are much more appropriate
venues for those sorts of discussions.  For what it's worth, my
feeling is that good uses for this list could be the report of
instances such as the recent addition of the warning label in Alabama
textbooks and suggestions as to what to do about those specific
instances.  I agree with Roy that people are drifting from such a
discussion and it's probably not such a good thing.  With that I'll
shut up.
