> I was just mentioning to a good friend of mine about how I don't post on the Faith board. Inevitably, my eyes stray to it at this time of year. I remember when I first joined Babble and was naively excited at the prospect of such a board. (Likening it, in my mind, to a place such as Belief.Net, where multiple belief systems and backgrounds are tolerated and exchanges were encouraged.) I did not find the Babble board to be an equivalent of such a place, and quickly took my leave.

I welcome exchanges on the Faith board between those of multiple belief systems and backgrounds. But that would mean not retreating. Does anybody have it in them to speak up now?
