Who's Losing Their Religion?
Are you spiritual but not religious? Do you find yourself creating your roadmap from a variety of sources, religious or otherwise? Are you open to having your mind changed? If your answer is "yes," this group is probably for you. We share religious, spiritual, and ethical ideas in a respectful forum. We listen and learn from each other, even if our worldviews and beliefs differ significantly. If your spiritual path is settled and decided without room for change, you may not find this group useful. ********************************************************************* Most of the group posts are unmoderated. However, the main (featured) forum is moderated due to the divisive nature of religious debate. You will need a friend connection to the author in order to participate. First-time commenters are always welcome! Please follow these guidelines on the featured post: 1. Share your spiritual and religious beliefs in this conversation but respect the other participants. No ad hominem attacks, please. Debate the ideas, not your opponent's personality. 2. LISTEN carefully and try to see other participants' points of view, no matter how different from your own. 3. Please don't "preach" or attempt to convert anyone else to your viewpoint in the main (featured) forum. 4. However, please feel free to submit your sermons to the LYR group in the form of an article! ***************************************************************** The facilitators, WM (Bill) H., and Ann M. will help to ensure respect of dissenting beliefs. However, most moderation here takes the form of self-moderation. This forum was inspired by the following set of articles: Losing Your Religion: You Come First Content Comments

Todd, the group content is moderated, so it won't show up on the home page immediately. (We do try to moderate everything within 24 hours of its being submitted, however). Feel free to email me or Bill (the group owner) if something seems to have been lost.
