We have a great forum here Sanctuary for spiritual support where there is much discussion on all things spiritual and of personal beliefs.

paddy, i would just like some clarification on all this. are you saying that on pc we are not allowed to have any sort of spiritual talk outside the sanctuary for spiritual support forum? if that is the policy on pc i was completely unaware of it as i've seen spiritual talk in several other forums so i was under the impression it is ok.

I think it is in the general forums when people give support to others and invoke religious beliefs and ideology into the support which in a way is preying on someone who is at a low ebb.

maybe it would be helpful if you report any specific posts where this has happened to the mods. there is that triangle button at the bottom of each post with an exclamation point in it just for that purpose. as i said it is my understanding that conversations i've had on here have been spiritual rather than religious but i realize people will see those things differently. if any of my posts are the offensive ones please report them so the mods can clarify to me what i said that was off-base.

I was told that all problems and difficulties are solved by a belief in ''Him" (God), now my religious beliefs are nobodies business and I would never presume to try to save another member by my beliefs.

i certainly don't think i said this but is it against the pc policy to refer to God as "he" or "him" or "she" or "her"? i may have said "he" in just normal usage of a pronoun so not to say God repeatedly. if that's not allowed please let me know.

that's where i'm confused. i don't know what exactly i've said that is one of the problem posts because this hasn't been specified.

Support is all about empathising with the person in need of support it is NOT a platform to push the believes and dogmas onto a vulnerable person.

i definitely understand what you're saying and i'm sure this is where i and others erred. there was a discussion in the dissociative forum where i reposted something that was already posted on another thread. someone asked a question and i replied on the original thread because i didn't want to trigger anyone on the new thread. i thought i was talking about spiritual things and i was responding to what someone else posted. we were talking about a new dsm category that talked about spirit beings inhabiting a person. to me that is a spiritual discussion. if i got "religious" it was in response to the original poster's comments. i will try to be much more careful of that. i still think it would be helpful to hash out what specifically is wrong in a particular post as it is really hard to know what is considered spiritual and what is religious.

As you said you didnt instigate the conversation it was suggested to you.
Take care of yourself

again, i do apologize. i have no desire to offend anyone here and i will be more careful in what i say. i was going by existing conversations so i assumed it was ok.
