the picking and choosing which phrases we're allowed to parrot is concerning to me. I understand this isn't a religious forum but the replies in this thread are eye opening.. You can't have both.. not every post is going to be good enough to every admin. But there has to be a way to address OP's concerns without belittling them. EVEN IF he did it first. It's like they love to use scripture against each other but don't want to use to bring us all together. Obviously not everyone can follow the rules all the time.. but prayer requests and chains should be allowed, welcomed, and easy to find. As we are all in this together, and the feelings of ONE should matter to us all at least in some capacity. Now if OP was banned or removed that would be the sign that it would be time to leave. but if someone feels lead to share scripture they should do it in the appropriate place; like a religious thread stickied to the top of HOT page. Maybe the words OP was lead to share would be exactly what one of our struggling comrades needed to see.
