[Faith-talk] Stefan and Steve

[Steve Jacobson]

Linda,

I would maintain that trying to demonstrate, even through scriptures, that one list member's religion is less valid than 
another's can diminish the effectiveness of a list's ability to deal with problems that are common to all blind people.  You 
may have noticed that I tried to indicate that I have some background in observing list behavior but that I am not the 
moderator.  If I were a Catholic, some of the recent posts would probably make me feel defensive.  If you, as the 
moderator, feel such discussions are all right, I would urge that you carefully lay down some ground rules to avoid future 
problems.  Believe me, such discussions are potentially explosive, but this is all I will say on this subject.
