Is it fair to say that only one group has been left out of the above list?

I am the first to admit that I live in an isolated world. Rural NH is not
noted for it's diversity. IMHO it is unthinkable that one could list
specific belief systems that are all inclusive.

The original post was specific as to how Christianity contrasts with LO's.
In response there were those members who wished to broaden the discussion.
My experience with this list has certainly been that if individuals have
an interest in more diverse groups, they need only to bring them into the
dialog. Must we go to a place of shame and blame around who's in and
whose out? Is there anyone here who truley wishes to exclude anyone or
their belief systems of interest?

Many of the posts that have emerged on this thread appear to me to have an
assumption of exclusion underlying them. I would like to test that
assumption with the whole group.

[Host' Note: Sherry, would you clarify in what way the posts have an
"assumption of exclusion underlying them" as you see it? Thanks.
