I guess I ought to say something here, even though I hate joining in on the nasty discussions. I guess by now many of you have figured out that I am a Christian, abeit one of the socialist, feminist, pro-choice, prolife, pacifist, liberal, dissident Catholic variety. I probably adhere to a couple dozen other seemingly-contradictory "isms" if I'd take the time to think of it, but this list is enough for now - basically, I think my own thoughts. Whatever the case, the main point is that I am a Christian, and my faith is a very important part of my life.
Nonetheless, I believe very strongly that religious sectarianism - Christian, pagan, or whatever - is something that has no place here. It serves to distract and divide us. If you want to preach, do it somewhere else. If you want to share your own ideas with us, we're all here to listen.
