I’m not religious by any means and I do think it should not be encouraged to talk about it but I think some civil non delusion encouraging religious talk should be allowed on a case by case basis. If it’s kept civil and doesn’t encourage any delusions then it’s like whatever, or maybe have a thread for it so people can avoid it if they want?

I think we should be encouraging that we make the best of this life and look after the planet. To many religions concentrate on what is going to happen when we die.

live and let live is my life philosophy, i really should have it next to my username tbh
I’m in a quandary. There might be some first amendment issues here, but some people are strongly triggered by religious posts. I don’t want to prescribe arbitrary limits on what a person can say on this site, but some people can be pretty defensive about religious beliefs.

Don’t care either way… I didn’t vote.
I’m not entirely sure, but maybe considering it’s a psychosis forum it would make sense to leave out all spirituality and religion in consideration for specific people. Especially since this is one of the few places that allows us to support each other they would want to be here so it should not be made worse for them. Also putting a warning sign that it’s trigger can maybe tempt some people to read it even though it’s maybe feeding a delusion.
There are no first amendment issues. The first amendment does not apply to this forum.

Maybe creating a sub-category named Religion and only those who want to access it?

I think some religious topics should be allowed.
I just don’t want to be witnessed to or told my problems are spiritual.

Maybe not in a strict legal sense, but what good is the first amendment if there is no place where a person can speak? I don’t think I would want to live in a world where every forum had to be totally open to anything a person wanted to say, but we should keep the spirit of the first amendment alive when discussing possibilities of censorship.

Yes, I agree. But just like you need to respect the rules of your host if you don’t want to be told to leave, you have to respect the rules of this forum if you want to stay. The first priority here will always be people’s health. This isn’t Reddit (thank God/Allah/Brahma/whatever 
).

I like that idea. Sort of like the other subtopics where people can choose where and how to interact.

What would benefit the forum members talking about religion? What good it will come?
There will be a lot of fights
This has been proposed before, and we have no intention of doing it that way. If we do allow some religious threads, they will most likely belong in the unusual beliefs section. After all, this is where we put content that is potentially delusion-triggering today.

That’s true, giving a hole topic to this diasese would be bad
no offense but what set of rules does this forum base itself on or is this forum a law unto itself?
I don’t think that we should discuss religion. I think it would open Pandora’s box.

That was my first thought, to have a sub catagory for religious themes, but just when expressing one’s personal view- NOT as a free-for-all fight as to who is right or wrong.
I wouldn’t mind others mentioning what helps them, but as this topic makes obvious, it doesn’t stay civil nor supportive for long.
