I agree.
Like you, Chris, I'm a new member and have been watching for the last few
days... although to be honest the sheer quantity of mails means that perhaps
90% goes unread. Is this a bad time to join? Or is it always toasty warm
down with lucifer?
I have a CoV related question for the group. Please forgive me if this has
already been covered.
The Virus site seems quite adamant that it represents an atheist viewpoint.
And yet, one of the listed sins is dogmatism. Is not atheism not considered
dogmatic?
Nic.
