Since I (1) am a part-time reader of net.religion, (2) only part-time because
of the high article size, and (3) in a position where I can create 
net.religion.christian, let me propose this:

I will take a poll from the net as to whether or not net.religion.christian
should be created.  Send me mail ONLY -- I do NOT have time to read all the
flames in netnews that will be generated by this.  If I receive enough pos-
itive response, I will create the group.

Note well that for people interested in discussing Christianity in a civilized
manner (ie. all agreeing that Christianity is the right religion -- no flames
about whether or not Christianity is the right religion) there is a mailing
list for that purpose.  I believe it has already been announced -- you can
send me mail and I will have you put on (or send mail to umcp-cs!liz -- she
is the moderator).  The existence of this list may make net.religion.christian
redundant: consider that when you reply. 

Once this group is created (if it's created) you folks will have to promise
not to duplicate your articles in net.religion (I see this happening sometimes
in net.religion.jewish), because if you do this you will be defeating the
purpose for which net.religion.christian was created.

I hope to see some feedback.
