Welcome to the Religious Discussion / Topics area! I realize that some people (perhaps including myself) may have a difficult time being nice where religion is being debated, but please do your best to keep things civil - flame wars will not be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Theodore,

As some one who has studied for my postgraduate diploma in pastoral studies and spiritualism, I was wondering if you would be best to change the forum to read Spiritual forum or Spiritual Discussion / Topics.

Just an idea. I consider myself a very spiritual person, however not religious, I guess my main reason for this is that from where I sit, (others may disagree), you can not be religious without being spiritual, but you can be spiritual without being religious!

Hope that makes sense!

Like I said, just an idea .... and in changing the forum title it might create a space where more people can come and not feel threatened by that word 'religion' but be able to discuss all aspects of their spirituality.

Thanks Keren

Hmm. Problem is that if I call it spiritual, I annoy religious people, and if I call it religious, I annoy non-religious people. Since I can't make everyone happy, I catered the name to the largest number of existing posts. It's not meant as a personal blow or anything, and you are of course still welcome to post in the area.

Hi Theodore,

I totally understand your reasoning, and have no hard feelings at all after all you have to do what you feel is right for your site and your member base. I just thought that changing the title will open the room to others who find the work religion confrontational and be more inviting for a larger number of people.

As for me I know I am welcome to post anywhere, but I do not get involved with religious discussions, so will probably not contribute in here.

Thanks for a great site,

Keren
