I believe that spirituality is a personal thing, and just as we appear different, and speak different languages, so our perceptions of the divine/eternal whatever are going to be different. Not my job to 'recruit' anybody.
My God is love. @Sae...That's a great answer...LOL Used to being yelled at, and getting more used to having posts deleted. There are many differences between people, some irreconcilable. I've already read enough on here to know I'll be in for a hard time, sometimes.  hopefully I'll learn something too...

We hardly ever delete posts unless you spam the place up or start preaching pages and pages of scripture. We welcome alternative viewpoints here, but we do not give anyone an easy time, not even the atheists.

Like it in tins, but that's about it...I save scripture for parties and bank managers. Deleted posts comment was my humorous take on some forums I've visited recently. I'm a big believer in free speech, and to return to a thread to find it shredded kind of defeats the purpose of a forum, to me, anyway. Even though we may try our hardest not to offend.....
Sure we've all been there.

I was referencing min's comment about the fact RedFish should yell at funies. I was agreeing with him on that point and including myself.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Even though we may try our hardest not to offend.....Yup, that's why we only ban people who get needlessly annoying here. If you keep dodging questions, refuse to discuss things, or just go on and on with preaching, we tend to ban you pretty quickly  That said, there are theists here who can actually follow the rules, and who manage to make their point without relying on proselytizing.

it does appear that way min.
