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 think you probably have noticed that most people didn't think that Jimi's post on neurology and faith was anti-faith either.)<<I agree with what you have said Dinah. Maybe I am the one who should have been cautioned. I welcome new posters, and really hate it when they aren't given a chance to figure this site out. Some, like myself, are slow to grasp it.
Whatever happened to the concept that "all things are spiritual to the Lord"?
I see one purpose of this site as helping people discover the spiritual side of life, and sort out the normal from the extreme that is often experienced in the disorders. To discern light from darkness. Real from fake. To get to know their own personal spirit.
What do you see as the purpose and need of this site today, September 15, 2003?
