If the first post was made in that group, keep the replies there.

Believe what you want - but keep your beliefs to yourself.  Almost every 
post I see from you in various newsgroups is off-topic, and it is 
usually in that group because you have inappropriately cross-posted a reply.

Yes, many posts could reasonably be said to be on-topic in more than one 
group.  No, that does not mean that it is a good idea to cross-post 
them.  And it certainly does not mean that it is a good idea to randomly 
cross-post to a bunch of unrelated groups.  Please stop doing it!
