That's the way it's supposed to work.  If you don't
want to read it, erase it.  Don't bellyache about it.

Obviously most of them do care to listen to much else.
 There are a lot of people here talking about a lot of
different stuff, less than half of which is about OtR.
 I don't think you speak for the majority, but thanks
for offering.

First of all, if you'll look back you'll see this
whole "Jesus" discussion, and others like it, have
many contributors - not just "a couple of interested
parties".  
Secondly, why doesn't anyone have the gonads to say
what's really bothering them about this discussion? 
As I said earlier, most of the discussions on this
forum have nothing to do with OtR.  No one complains
if that discussion is about film or Radiohead or
poetry or whatever.  It's just this discussion (which
really isn't about Jesus per se as much as it is about
judgmentalism and what the Bible says about it) that
has you and others so riled up wanting to protect us
all from inappropriate subject matter.  If you have a
problem with this topic, bring it up and see if there
is any validity to it.  Otherwise, these false attacks
on inappropriate topics are bogus.
