The first amendment applies to what the government can do, not to what
is acceptable on a private listserv. This list is for discussion of
religion and law, not for you to harangue and proselytize. Surely that
shouldn't need to be explained on this list of all places.

Is this really the appropriate list for such preaching? I know it damn
well isn't the appropriate list to be declaring some members of the list
mentally ill.

Simple indeed -- if you have faith. And all those secular shrinks have
been  doing a great job, right? In fact, unbelief IS a mental illness
since it denies reality, God's reality, the only reality there is. We
all live in God's world and are governed by His Law, whether you believe
this or not. God's Truth is not dependent upon the belief of a man to be
true. You don't have to believe in Hell to go there.

Wow.  So simple.  And just think how many doctors have been struggling 

for so long to help the mentally ill.
