May I respectfully suggest that we put an end to this thread? There has been a lot of heat, virtually no light, no one changing or affecting anyone else's views, at least two inadvertant private posts accidently sent to the list, etc. (This is not meant as directed especially to Rick; his simply happens to have been the most recent post.) This may be hard to believe, but there once was a (pre-blogging) day when we used to have very substantive, enlightening discussions about actual legal questions involving religion. I fear that many of our most valuable posters no longer participate because this list has all-too-often (albeit not always) lapsed into invective, predictable sloganeering, and superficial sound-bites about cases and headlines. This thread sure isn't helping matters. Of course, if others are getting a lot out of it, please do not hestitate on my account to continue the flame-wars . . .
