Dr. Bob, sometimes I just don't understand your concept of what people of faith might find unsupportive.
A crisis of faith, and trying to struggle past that, is part of many (if not most) people's spiritual journey. And as long as someone hasn't concluded that faith is a total waste of time, I don't see how discussion of the struggle to believe can possibly be seen as nonsupportive to religious belief. If someone is struggling to find their faith again, doesn't that show that they respect and value religious belief?
I'm going to answer Hannah's question below. Because my answer fits better here on the faith board than anywhere else. You can redirect it if you wish.
(And perhaps on the posts that aren't clearly anti-religious you could post a proposed redirect instead, and let the posters decide whether it should indeed be moved to Social. I think you probably have noticed that most people didn't think that Jimi's post on neurology and faith was anti-faith either.)
