Hello Everyone,

It has been suggested that Christianity is under attack, an avid attack, in this forum. My question is sincere, as I have not seen this and would like the opinions of those who frequent here to share what your perception is, regarding this topic.

My whole mind-set, in creating this forum, was to provide a place where everyone is welcome, where none are set up and/or apart, a place of inclusion if you will. In the description for this forum, no mention of any faith/religion is made and those who don't believe at all are encouraged to participate. Well aware that there are many different religions and faiths, it was my hope that this forum, "Spirituality and Religion," would allow us to remove some of the barriers. Barriers, in my opinion, that has kept us from sharing, together, the things we believe individually.

I do recognize there are an overwhelming number of posts regarding Islam, but I thought that was simply because Members chose to share that information. I don't think posting one's belief/questions, in and of itself, implies an attack on other faiths and religions. Am I wrong?

Am I being naive? Is Christianity being attacked here (or anyone's faith, religion, sexual preference, color, etc.) and I don't even see it? Would you prefer having separate forums for all different faiths, religions and denominations?

Looking forward to your responses.

Wow!!!! Destee...

I didn't know it was that serious. I haven't seen anything that so incriminating.. only educating. So if someone complains about posting of other religions.. giving them a broader view on things.. and they choose to keep a closed mind.. Well thats not our problem... I'm ready to learn!!!!

I like the way you handle things though!! Momma Destee!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you Shaneak for responding.

I was hoping I'd get some responses from those who felt it is being attacked (though I do appreciate your response, don't get me wrong!).

Religion is probably one of the most difficult topics to discuss publicly, as most everyone feels passionately about theirs and may oftentimes be conversing with those of opposing views.

Anyway ... this forum is about discussion and as long as we do it with respect and decency ... I don't have a problem with it.

This forum does appear to be dominated by Islamic and Egyptian beliefs. However, that's because a Christian might feel intimidated about posting in this atomosphere for fear of being drawn into senseless debates. There's just something about the name Jesus, that brings a rise out of some people like you would not believe. If you shake a hornet's nest you are bound to be stung even if you shook it unintentionally.

But then as you said, as long as everyone treat each other with respect, everyone should be able to get along. I've been in a heated/friendly discussion with :argue: Sekhemu but we respected each other...thus I do believe if I lived in his city, he would take me out for a cup of coffee. We've agreed to disagree and still remain on speaking terms...at least for now anyway...you know how fickle men can be sometimes. :roll:
