I have no problem with any*one* posting in this forum.  I'm not convinced,
though, that it's the *environment* that's hostile when cases in which
matters of theological opinion are treated as matters of observable fact,
and disagreements on a select group of specific points result in predictions
of an eternity in flaming sulfur unless one party abandons his opinion or
even heritage altogether.

I'm reminded of Agatha Trunchbull in "Matilda":  "I'm smart and you're dumb.
I'm big and you're little.  I'm right and you're wrong, and there's nothing
you can do about it."
