[LAURA CREIGHTON] The vast majority of my articles do not pertain specifically to Christianity but to any and all religious movements that base their tenets on non-tenable "evidence" and yet still expect some form of moral sway over the population at large. The ones who answer and respond to these articles, oddly enough, are almost always Christians. Thus, many followups ask questions of the responders regarding Christian thought. It is worth noting that many of those who specifically saw the newsgroup as a form of refuge from my questions and my viewpoints were not loath to mention my name, attack my viewpoints, and even ask me questions, assuming that I wouldn't be able to answer. -- "Pardon me for breathing which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bothered to mention it--Oh, God, I'm so depressed."
