i believe that part of the problem is saying things like "only atheists are allowed to post", when no atheism has been expressed; and "i don't like new-age", i didn't see any of that, either.... what i saw was a nice thread on sage advice to personal, spiritual growth: guidelines for self-improvement. until someone started posting denigrating and blatantly religious statements, and when i pointed that out, quite gently i thought, i was slammed with more of the same.

that is why i am not posting in there anymore. i don't care for religion, of any flavor. if you can suggest some way that i can improve my ability to tolerate such offenses, i would call that spiritual advice.
