Thanks, everyone.

I guess my point is this...

Everyone's spiritual (or not) experience is HIGHLY personal and unique because it's based on belief, personal application, experiences, etc. In that, there will rarely be an agreement of everything, all of the time.

Please understand that another's personal belief is their's to own and share (as long as it doesn't attack another's). If you can support and share in like manner, go for it!!! If you can't, go to a thread where you can.

Something that someone has claimed as their's in such a way can be most powerful in an indivual way; most emotional. With that being true, many don't/can't tolerate well an examinmation or debate of what might be considered as one's entire meaning/being/existence.

Share what you can, relate what you can, support what you can, but please refrain from actions that might, in any way, be perceived as a personal attack or picking apart.

Again, if you can't relate in a positive way within a thread, maybe it's best to become involved in one where you can share, care, relate, or give in a positive-feeling way to the majority involved. I know that many times a thread might spark a train of thought that was sparked by the orginal topic and would be a good topic when standing alone, but might be perceived as unsupportive to the original poster (and others responding) in the context of the entire thread. In that case, it can have much more positive results to create a new thread to post the thoughts that another thread gave to you but might not be the most supportive in the same thread; one where others can choose their participation... I think this simple action might side-step many heated discussions/arguments/debates.

Much love,
