You know, Ken... I also include my religion in my children's education, but I 
rarely mention the religion by name here, and it seems to keep me out of 
trouble with the moderator.  He knows my religion and dosen't seem to like it 
any more than he likes yours, but /this/ homeschool echo has /always/ been 
secular, and in coming here I feel that we must respect the cultural 
iversity
here and respect the religious beliefs of others by not promoting our own.  I 
agree that this is not the place for it, and feel that we are capable of 
expressing many things about homeschooling here without adding that 
articular
element of our experience.

If you want to continue on FidoNet, why not start your own homeschool echo 
that will allow you to express your particular religious beliefs?  Anyone can 
start a FidoNet echo... and it seems that there are enough people here that 
have an interest in your particular kind of religion that they would be 
interested in supporting an echo on that subject.
However I would like to see people who are committed to the ethical 
arameters
of religion making a committment to respect the rules of the moderator here 
without complaining.  Having a secular homeschool echo is a benefit for all 
of us.
