I'm not sure of what all is happening here, expecially on this thread that began as a person's definition of their spirituality.

For me, spirituality can include things not usually seen as God-related. That I, inside, relate all things to God shouldn't affect another. I can follow another's spirituality format without having to insert the word "God" into it, as I have clearly displayed already.

For some, spirituality does not mean God. That's fine too.

I don't see any need to split this forum up because any problems that I see are caused by the posts that are made, not by the forum title. It does become tough to remember at times that all posts are to be supportive in nature. That, plus the use of "I" statements doesn't mean/include imo making statements about how I think someone else is wrong or how I think God doesn't exist etc. "I" statements I thought were more of the lines of explaining personal experiences in giving support.

The administrators are doing a good job here I think, in general. It's a new forum and probably needs to seek it's own level. Any fear of having it split up in my POV would mean one part for support and another for discussion/debate. I would vote against that, if it were asked of me. I'll let the admin decide and go with whatever.

Historically for me, God has continued to show love, mercy, and grace. Guess it's just what viewpoint one has.

Support in this forum might, should, and does often take a bit of a turn from the other forums. Spirituality is a deeper personal "thing"...but is it really, than say, depression or schizophrenia? Should this forum be any different than the guidelines of pure support? I mean, we don't go into a "disorder" forum and discuss whether we believe it exists or not. When someone puts down the existance of God, that would be like me putting down someone's belief that spirituality exists. Maybe if we can look at it that way, it won't be so difficult to allow me my faith, and me to allow you yours.

I, for one, can work harder at not posting any Scripture that puts down satan, and various other sins. I can try to keep Scripture to what I really do try to do and that is to uplift and encourage struggling Christians. Sometimes the problem has to be shown first, before understanding follows. I guess if someone who would worship satan (and I'm just using this as a sharp contrast example) needed to condemn God to encourage the followers, that might happen.

I personally try not to put other PEOPLE down, even when their beliefs are different than mine. I hope others have seen that on the most part. I don't hate people. I might surely hate what they DO though. (I doubt I'm alone in that.) But still, the forum wasn't put here for showing hatred or contrariness towards others or other's faith.

Once again PC is forefront in the effort to help us all learn how to give and receive support.
