I guess it all depends on your definition of religion!  Should there always 
be a God involved?

No one asked the Baha'is or others to completely stop posting on this subject.
People only asked that postings be limited to what really belongs to sci.
I guess no one can stop you anyway.  People can only give suggestions.  If 
you want to be manipulated by Farzin, et all, be my guest.  But please don't
forget the charter of this newsgroup:  Discussing things related to Iran.  If
Iran has a different meaning to you, I for one am ready to make a sacrifice 
and let you have sci if it makes you happy.  We can always create other 
groups which can be better utilized to discuss things about Iran (Note: Iran
is the country located in the Middle East, bordering Turkey and Iraq on the
West, Afghanistan and Pakistan on the East, Armenia, Azarbayjan, Caspian Sea,
Turkamnistan, .. on the North, and of course Persian Gulf on the South.  For
more information, please refer to geography books).

I think it's fair to say that the war was started by the Iraqis, but it's
also fair to say that Iran should not have continued the war for 8 years
and at the price of millions dead and injured!  If you know what I mean :-)

You can post books and novels if you want, as long as they belong to sci 
it would not bother me a bit.

I could only ask the same from all subscribers to this newsgroup, including
yourself.

P.S.  Those of you who always say that using Kill files or the "n" key is
the best solution, should note that some people archive the sci postings for
later use.  The less unrelated or useless postings we have the better.  It 
would make searching through the files a lot more easier and efficient.
If you have any doubts, maybe siamak who is working on the FAQ files can
comment on this, that is if he hasn't lost his eyesights yet and can read 
these lines.
