My understanding of this list is that it is a place to discuss gender and
religion, right?
This list, like your college, should in your words be "friendly and
supportive." Or, at least it should be a place to talk openly without
criticizing and attacking the faith that is important to other members.
Thus, I *do* tend to see the following posting to be at least as offensive
as using
the word "cult" to describe a religion that is not one's own, primarily
because of the language that is chosen.

I respectfully request that we all treat each other's beliefs with respect.
