I think it would be benenficial for everyone to read what Carolyn posted in the reminder that she wrote in the second to top area, of this topic of spitituality.
I think if you were to take a Poll, I think you'd find alot of people have been turned off of this area, and even the forums altogether by being attacked by born again Christians.
I say let everyone feel welcome in this section. Regardelss what their religion may be.
Why should this topic of spirituality be dominated by only born again Chrisitans?
Lets do what many 12 step programs, and also what Carolyn says, and "Live, and Let Live"!!!!
We are all people of the world, created by God, and we should be able to live in harmony!!!! Let's let everyone feel welcome, and feel that they are in a safe place to get help, and open up their hearts. Not to be attacked by someone who doesn't even know them!!!

Hi Conner, thanks so much for responding. The only point that I really want to get across is that we all should be kinder to each other. I am also a devout believer in the one, and only God, I just don't happen to be Christian.
I found that so many Christians were so busy trying to convert people, or wanting to argue, that it seemed the site was not always being used for what it is meant for, and that is helping all of us with our anxiety, depression, panic attacks etc.
I am open to talking with people of all religions, and people of no religion. I know that we can still help each other.
In the end God is going to be the judge of us all, we should not judge each other.
"Judge not lest ye be judged"
Let us all be friends, helpers, and non judgemental of our fellow sufferers of these difficulties.
Thanks again,
Hally

I have tried to bite my tongue on this one so I am not drawn into anyones drama and sometimes it seems that it is "All about the drama".
And in my most humblest opinion I would like to say "Lead don't follow" groupees. If there is an opinion that is not liked or a thread that is not agreeable to some, then for heaven (oops am I allowed to say heaven?
) sakes start a new thread and have your own following.
I rarely have a disagreement with anyone on this forum and am certainly not trying to now. And it is certainly not because I always agree with what is being said but more so that I have the <STRIKE>God</STRIKE> (censored) given right to move on to something else in the forum that suits my needs better.
Thanks for listening.
Now which way is Switzerland anyway?

Hally honey, I know you mean well but don't waste your breath, it's futile. The holy rollers run this section. It's the same old song and dance. You speak out and it's misconstrued as a trouble maker. The preachers roll in ten fold to bless you as if you were Satan's baby himself. They will proclaim to be innocent as they throw their bible quotes at you and then accuse you of having anger issues when they know darn right well that what they do them selves is as evil as any other act I have seen. 
The moderator will look away until a smartmouth wise cracker like myself comes along to make their job difficult. So much easier to quiet the few opposed to the masses, so a thread is closed and the wise cracker is dismissed. Have you seen the movie Changeling? Kinda reminds me of that. One woman standing her ground against a corrupt police force. Long story short, the woman wins out, well at the very least against the corruptness. Not gonna happen here. Best to just move along. Stick to the program, use restraint, and you will be past this bad patch meaning anxiety or depression and this site (this section in particular) will be a thing of the past. There are many wonderful people here that will help you along. Focus on them and as for the holy rollers take their advice Matthew 10:14 and dust your feet of them. :p
