Where are the members that used to post such kind, warm, thoughtful and
postive posts in the religion forum? I miss them and reading the posts,
the sharing of good, the sharing of positve. I for one would greatly
appreciate the return of positive and mutual contributions in this
forum. I know, I know, everyone has an opinion, views that differ, and
am well aware of that but there used to be a respect in these threads
and people with faith were not afraid to share their thoughts and posted
on a regular basis.

Am not looking to debate or argue this post or the existence of God or
the Bible, just asking, that if any of those members read
this.....please consider posting, contributing and sharing again

I would enjoy seeing that too Jane, but in the short time I've been on
this site, I haven't.

i feel that those that ridacul one for their beliefs

have stopped a few from posting

some seem to think that everything that someone

posts opens them up to be attacked

i sure hope i am wrong but it does not seem so 2 me

i wish those that posted the happy stuff

and joyful news would begin posting again

Jane,

Please start up threads for your ideas! Put something in the title so
that its clear that its meant to be a "share with me" type of thread,
and not a "Debate With Me" thread [like the ones I start].

Jane, good warm thoughts posted in an open, muti fasceted race and
oregin group in an on-line environment relayed under a religious topic
would be oxymoron. If you are looking to sustain or uphold or commune
with only like minded people, church is a good option.

I have seen much communion here. I have felt more at home with the many
opinions and thought of others here, than anywhere I have ever had the
opportunity to speak open mindedly.

There is warmth here, it's in the continued discussions of those who
want understanding and to create a way of peaceful coexistance.

Behind the faith based discourse, there are poeple, individuals, that we
are all getting to know. Not as a religion, but as poeple. This kind
of warmth is renewing, and frustrating and at times humorous. I find it
a place hard to stay away from, and the poeple, genuine and giving. The
lack of apparent harmony, means that honest converstaion exists, at
least in one small part of the world - here at JSH.
