"i actually try to avoid this board because i do feel that both my family past, and my theological present, are so out of sync w/ most posters here it would lead more to misunderstandings, triggers,etc. then shedding any useful light in either direction."
I am sorry that you feel unwelcome or out of place here. I do value your input greatly, and your raising insightful questions for discussion, and most of all your manner and tone.
In trying to provide a place where there is no need to relate to everything in a Christian or spiritual perspective, it may seem like we are being exclusive and unwelcoming. It's something that's really hard to avoid. One solution is to have multiple boards. But more boards = more work and headaches. It's not that we are generally boo-ing down Christian perspectives or anything like that, many of the people on this board are Christians. We just tried to create a board that was different from those already out there. But Christian perspectives and our references to the bible have to have a place somehow too. Pls bear with us as we figure this one out, OK?
Peace!
