Go through the mails for the past 15 days by Albert Desouza. At least
half of them, averaging one a day, are on religious topics, and are in
fact sermons and exhortations about various things.

There is little purpose in imagining things about people and then
getting pleasure from criticising them. I have never said that I do not
respect people's right to believe whatever (or not to believe, for that
matter). I am just asking whether Goanet is the right forum to post an
average of one sermon or homily a day?
But enough said on this matter. If the majority on Goanet feels that it
is okay, I will bow to majority opinion and say nothing further on this
for now.
