So….this is the reason I was kinda thinking we should leave religion out of our discussions here.
All of our belief systems are deeply held.
We study and learn. We compare things. We go with what our hearts tell us is true and right. And when we do this? We sometimes get different answers from one another.
I didn’t get “really mad” about what was said in the thread recently. I deleted comments that belittled the beliefs of the poster because that was the right thing to do as the moderator of the forum. I seriously doubt that it was intentional, as I know you to be a kindhearted person. But beliefs that are non-Christian or completely non-religious are just as valid to the person holding those beliefs.
This forum is not going to turn into yet another place where ONLY conservative Christians feel welcome. There are so many wonderful people out there looking for a place to meet other people who are into survival and self-reliance and not all of them will believe the same way that each of you believes. Insulting each other doesn’t build community.
Let’s try not to argue about religion because I assure you, nobody is suddenly going to change his or her mind because of something a person said on a forum. So let’s be cool, okay?
