Before I rant and rave .. 48 year old .. ELDER here has enough sense to ask .. what exactly has been the discussion and the issues .. and forewarn lengthy and rather disruptive output on the topic will take place... after I have heard the details. EYWA help this forum, and anyone whom would presume to initiate a banning of such discussions ... there's a choice not nice word to describe it, that in my livid moment I can't remember ..... RIGHT ______ CENSORSHIP >>> CENSORSHIP Pls tell me, we are not giving into CENSORSHIP >> limiting the rights and freedom of expression of others on this forum ...... Welcome to the Dark Ages??????????????????????? Anyone in for Witch Burning .... Heretics ... The Inquisition .... Nazism .. or any other form of 'regulating the masses' .... for their own good .. by arbitary decision makers .... and to clarify .. I am aware .. the ONE whom is the main instigator behind this ...... and THIS IS MIKA >>> making a very LOUD PROTESTING STATEMENT ... THIS FORUM WILL NOT PRACTICE CENSORSHIP .. when it comes to SPIRITUAL MATTERS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I certainly hope that this forum does not regularly practice censorship. At least, not for such a topic like spirituality. There are far, far worse subjects that are much more deserving of censorship.
I know there are people here who are firmly spiritual and others who are firmly athiest (and perhaps others in between who indulge their curiosity and investigate either side). Arguments, slandering, censorship...these things do not need to exist on Tree of Souls. All that's required is that we show mutual respect for each others' beliefs and perhaps some occasional self-restraint if we find that we have nothing nice to say about what someone believes or does not believe. Post and let post. No one here should feel hurt and unwelcome because of his or her (non)spiritual beliefs. |

Why on earth did you respond there? Way to take something out of it's original context. In order for this to make any sense, I'm going to copy that comment here. Quote:

Though I slightly agree. But religious discussions just end up being arguments that go in circles.

Tossing in my two cents... I think what we need are two kinds of threads for spiritual discussions:
1) Designated debate threads where members of either persuasion can discuss a specific aspect of spirituality or atheism. Perhaps they will indeed go in circles...so be it. If people want to debate, then they can do so here. Others can just ignore these threads. 2) Threads where debate and attempts to provoke or incite arguing are not welcomed; these threads can be for sharing ideas, raising questions, peaceful and thoughtful discussions, etc. Last edited by Empty Glass; 09-05-2011 at 05:11 AM. |

It has.
Here's my 2 cents. People get religion and spirituality confused. It's natural to assume that religion is spirituality because religions believe in some higher being and conduct rituals..Yet that's where the comparisons end. Spiritualists doesn't even need a god to worship, like the shaman for example. Spirituality is more about human nature and the influence of the spirits of nature on oneself and the environment. The Na'vi are spiritual so why can't we have a thread about the sharing of spiritual experiences? Heck meditation and dreaming have been talked about in other subforums and they are spiritual experiences. One other thing: Why do we have an environmental subforum and not a spiritual one as well?
