Then n.r.christian was created to get the bulk of ||Christian/non-Christian debate traffic out of the main group (a move I ||was wholeheartedly against, as I was against the further isolationism ||of n.r.jewish). The subgroups are not "havens" where people can expect ||no disagreement with their views. For the record, that is not what happened. At the time I proposed (on behalf of a large number of interested people) that this newsgroup be created, there were no subgroups under net.religion. Rich, maybe YOU are against the "isolationism" of n.r.j. If you're primarily interested in discussing religion in general, go right ahead in net.religion. I, and many other Jews on this network, are NOT interested in other religions. We have a certain basic set of beliefs, and are interested in discussing Judaism. I unsubscribed to net.religion long ago. If you are interested in legitimate discussion about Judaism, this is the place for it. If you are interested in general discussion about the validity of religion, it does not belong in this newsgroup. Your postings about Judaism do belong here, but at the same time observant Jews should be free to post articles which make basic assumptions about the validity of Torah without being attacked for those assumptions.
