My particular breed of paranoia is running to the p-list being infiltrated 
and overrun by the million (Christian) hats of Reverending TF. Every 
anonymous poster's words scrutinised for tell tale signs of gnostic influence.
Since his announcement that all his alter egos were female, suspicion falls 
on any hapless woman entering the fray.

Jeepers - this is serious displacement activity - challenging religious 
zealotry on the p-list.

Religion is a major human mode of expression, of  hopes, fears, and other 
forms of anguish and joy and feelings abounding.
That I think we can all agree on.
Whether it is more than a way we comfort ourselves, when we notice the 
existential void, is debatable, for ever and ever, amen.

Methinks Terance projects too much.
