The first amendment applies to what the government can do, not to what is acceptable on a private listserv. This list is for discussion of religion and law, not for you to harangue and proselytize. Surely that shouldn't need to be explained on this list of all places.

Chill, Ed, it's called free speech, the free exercise of religion, First Amendment, remember?

Is this really the appropriate list for such preaching? I know it damn well isn't the appropriate list to be declaring some members of the list mentally ill.

Simple indeed -- if you have faith. And all those secular shrinks have been doing a great job, right? In fact, unbelief IS a mental illness since it denies reality, God's reality, the only reality there is. We all live in God's world and are governed by His Law, whether you believe this or not. God's Truth is not dependent upon the belief of a man to be true. You don't have to believe in Hell to go there.

Wow. So simple. And just think how many doctors have been struggling for so long to help the mentally ill.
