Not to worry, i made the one post and apologized to the other X posted
groups for doing so and that is the last i will say on the matter, at
least as far as the cross postings go.

Normally i just shake my head and wonder why the type of person that
thinks they know the "Truth" about the concept called "God" think the
way they do, i assume it is a sort of arrogant, philosophical atavism, a
throw back to a more primitive time. I am aware of the political and
historical arguments for theological conformity but i am surprised when
i experience it in the modern west.

But i am more saddened than surprised by what seems to be "those
peoples" lack of awareness of the history of such a way of thinking,
thought control or attempts to impose it from a political or religious
point of view invariably leads to oppression and brutality.

Although all this cross-posting is polluting the hell out of rfc, I
confess to a certain sneaky pleasure in seeing what this Chung guy
posts. In my ideal universe all this superstitious bullshit vanishes,
and one way to speed up the process is to allow the widest possible
dissemination of this crap, so that more and more people can see how
stupid it is. Reductio ad absurdum to be sure, but to be expected
because it stems from absurd premises. Some mainstream Christians may
think Chung is an idiot because he's extreme, but that's just because
they haven't listened closely enough to their own preachers. If
Chung's posts cause them to do so, all the better, say I. -aem

So you're assuming everyone is Christian and listens to a "preacher". If
you enjoy Chung's posts, find out which ng he's posting to and go read
whatever you like. But please don't bring it here.

I happen to read the diabetic newsgroups...I never see chung...I use
XNews. Xnews has multi-level filtering. It can also filter out cross
postings. Perhaps you should give it a look. It is freeware.

permutations....
