[DocJohn]

I will once again ask all members who participate in this forum to please remember that it is a forum to offer support to one another for one's own particular spiritual beliefs. All spiritual beliefs are welcomed here (including, specifically, beliefs that you may object to or not believe in yourself).

This forum is not to challenge or otherwise call into question each other's beliefs or thoughts about a particular religion. It is not really the forum to get into in-depth discussions about specific organized religions, debating details around a particular belief system, etc. Why? Because it is for spiritual support, not religious debate. If you would like to engage in religious debate, please go elsewhere online (e.g., Beliefnet).

Why don't we allow more religious debate on the forums?

Because we have found, time and time again through experience, that members have a difficult time with this topic. It often seems to draw out the worst in some of us. And being that we are primarily a mental health support forum, we like to try and stick to that mission as much as possible (while allowing a place for people to feel "safe" to open up about their spirituality here too).

This reminder is not directed at any particular member or thread.

Thank you for your cooperation,
DocJohn
