DocJohn has very clearly outlined what can be discussed in this forum here: "We're going to move forward with a new plan for this forum, for better or worse, because the current state of affairs is simply untenable. We have lost members over hurt and upset caused by this forum and by some members' focus on specific religious doctrine and dogma over the more general spirituality we've always intended here.

For example, Fuzzybears prayer to the Bear Spirit shouldn't be allowed either but just because it's a Spirit from Native American religion, no one will protest against it. If I wrote exactly

Some members have chosen to use this forum as a place to express their point of view, sometimes trying to drown out others'. Other members see this as a soap box to evangelize.

We need to go back to the original mandate of the forum -- that it is about spirituality and not specific religions. Discussion -- even positive discussion -- of specific religions or religious doctrine will not be allowed going forward. It is the specific religious talk that seems to cause the most trouble.

This means no religious talk is allowed -- no specific religious figures, texts, etc. will be permitted here. Please see the note about Social Groups to find where such religious discussion occurs within this community.

The purpose of PC is mental health support. The purpose here is not to have religious discussion or debate of any kind. The purpose of PC is for people seeking support for their mental health illnesses to have access to the support they need. Religious debate is superfluous and possibly detrimental to that.
