I agree!  Many people have said that religious topics are "off topic" on
the fml.  I and many silent flmers consider the Sandee and Saraferret
posts to be religious and off topic as well.  Consider for a moment the
issue of fairness.  If Sandee and her follwers have a right to post THEIR
beliefs it stands to reason that the rest of us are also entitled to
freedom of expression when it comes to OUR belief systems, whether they
conflict with your's or not.  What comforts you may not comfort us and
we are equally entitled to express that.
 
If fmlers can freely post about psychic ability, witch craft, energies
and the rainbow bridge which are THEIR religious views then so can we.
If Sandee isn't off topic then neither is our expressing our varying
modes of "comfort".
 
Fair is fair. :)

[Moderator's note: Agreed.  If you want to talk about your ferrets going
to your version of heaven, go ahead.  But if you want to talk about what
our version of heaven SHOULD be, or about what your religion believes
heaven should be, then it's off topic and will be rejected unless, of
course, it's clearly about ferrets.  BIG]
