Reply #4: I would have been offended also.

I was the one who suggested this forum (someone helped me come up with the name). It was supposed to be a place in which the spiritual could retreat from atheists insulting them.

GliderGuider has been most respectful, so I am not attacking him.

I'm merely commenting upon the fact that this type of retreat has been needed for a number of years now.

It was supposed to be a place in which we didn't have to deal with people calling us 'drunk,' 'defensive,' or 'too sensitive,' and in which we could kick around any metaphysical or spiritual idea, without having to defend it 'logically.' We could just explore the idea and imagine the possibilities without experiencing negative behavior.
