In reply to the discussion: For believers do you feel safe in your house of worship after Charleston? [View all]kentauros
(29,414 posts)33. I understand that you can't comprehend our concerns.
Yet this is not the place to question that.
A safe haven that provides opportunities for people of all faiths, spiritual leanings and non-belief to discuss religious topics and events in a positive and civil manner, with an emphasis on tolerance. Criticisms of individual beliefs or non-belief, or debates about the existence of higher power(s) are not appropriate in this group.
In case you somehow don't realize it, you're treading on thin ice right now. Self-delete your post or there may be a different kind of delete happening next.
