[hijack] A few months ago, my friend and I were walking home from a pub on Fulham Road, and we saw a pair of buses; the first said 'Cat Among Pigeons' on the side, but the other blocked everything but 'mong Pigeons'. We were a bit pissed, so we thought that was very funny, and on getting back to his house, we took out his guitar and wrote 'The Tragic Ballad of Lembit and the Mong Pigeons'.[/hijack]
😀 .... very tragic indeed ...

Give an appropriate definition of the God Squad and argue whether the proportion of GS members in the RHP population is significantly larger or smaller than in the general population, or not significantly different. Your argument can be causal or you can find some data.
God Squad refers to those eager to press their faith upon us, but who exchew ordinary conversation. They represent a smaller portion of the RHP demographic than in the US and other secular Xtian nations as a whole, but a larger portion than the world as a whole. Two factors seem critical in accounting for this demographic: 1) most of the world is not Xtian, so the God Squad is a tiny portion of all; 2)chess is a diversion from Bible study, so most God Squad members will not be found here.

Nevertheless, they are quite visible in the forums, especially in the Spirituality forum, where they either feel a sense of ownership, or a sense of imprisonment.

One year in college, of the fifty men on my floor in the dorm, six were "official God Squad" members, one less than the number of Amway distributors. It was a strange year.

I have a lot of flashbacks when I see text by a few posters here
