Welcome Irene

Hang around: those of us who've been here for years know the persons who make some sense and discriminate in terms of what we read and who we reply to...

Not all the atheists here are perverse: a few, like Chris Ho-Stuart and Sean McHugh offer constructive counterpoints to Christians' posts. Les Brown's offerings from a Jewish perspective are often very valuable.

In fact, you'll find a few fundamentalist Christians' offerings here fit into the 'perverse' category. It's a mind-set at work here, rather than a belief-set...

Avoid, generally, posts cross-posted to multiple newsgroups

If you want a bit of the history of this group see under Aus.religion.christian in the alphabetical keyword search on our website...

Why not start a thread on a topic you're interested in, or got a question or opinion about?

Happy New Year
