One of the great things about having no interest in the Virus project and simply using the list as an arena in which to practice the dogma-defense techniques we have learned from our masters is that we don't have to bother with reading the explanation and statement of intent for the list, nor do we feel any obligation to follow any threads that we suspect might be focussed on the Virus agenda.
Again, that's your prerogative. If you manage to distract us from our shared purpose, we have only ourselves to blame.

You're under no obligation to do so.

If you will recall, I responded to your "a message from a newcomer" with a message of welcome. I've been waiting for you to contribute to the Virus project, and I'd still like to see you enter the discussion.

Interesting. What lesson do you think the Virus crew can take from your experience and apply to the task of consciously engineering a religion?

Looks like you've segued back into Christian apologetics, so I'll tune out here.
Take care.
