Several recent posts, from Nita, for one, have reminded us that with 1700
people in more than 30 countries of the world, we are indeed a diverse
group. We who are "belivers" probably have many ways of thinking of
"God", and each probably feels her/his way is the best one, with the
natural wish then to share what is so important and life-enhancing for us.
As has been suggested, these messages may be better sent offlist, out of
courtesy to those who have their own beliefs, or indeed do not see
themselves as "religious". Just another way to focus the group dialog on
the thing that unites us ---PD, and the search for a cure---rather than on
things that may divide us. I do not see this as "censorship", just
respect for our wonderful diversity, and have in some cases shared my own
beliefs privately with individual listmembers when it seemed appropriate..
