In just two pages, and thanks largely to jmfcst (of course), this Crowning Moment of Awesome Goldmine has quickly become the Boring Religious Lecture Tin Mine. Please update the thread title accordingly.
I have to agree, although I have been often guilty about veering off topic in a thread myself, but I enjoy just chatting with folks. But I do keep in mind what other posters think about what is dumped on a thread, and one thing most here don't want dumped, is a Bible lecture. It is just the wrong venue for that.
