Thread I tried to post

[LiveHope]

Hi, @Moonbeam I tried to post a thread in creativity I think. A poem, called what defines us. I haven’t heard anything about whether it was approved or not. If it was, it’s not showing up on my activity. And if it wasn’t may I ask why.
Thanks,

I rejected a poem a couple of days ago that was very religious. We have a rule against religious discussions here.

Oh, my apologies. I guess I misunderstood. My faith grounds me in my illness and without it I could not be so far along. I thought as long as we weren’t having religious type discussions like whether there is a being greater than ourselves or not and arguing over it. I have had highly religious psychotic episodes full of fear, so I guess I can relate. But where I have also found healing only because of my faith it’s hard to imagine keeping such a resource especially when it is in a creative form and seeks to lift up and not destroy. Would they ever consider a category that does allow faith to be discussed in a non-agresssive manner? That way people who do find healing in that area can connect, and those that are sensitive to it can just steer clear.

• Religious Discussions

We know that many people who have experienced mental illness find comfort and healing in belonging to a religion. Unfortunately, many people with psychotic disorders experience delusions of a religious character, and some have had traumatic experiences with religion or with attempts to heal their illness through religious activities such as exorcism. To facilitate recovery, and to make this a safe place for everyone, we ask that users avoid mentioning their beliefs. We also ask that users not get into discussions about their own or others’ beliefs, or lack of belief, as many would find this hurtful or offensive.

Thank you @Moonbeam I had remembered reading that, but forgot where it was and didn’t realize how strict the line is. Safety first, I will have to come up with some poems that are of a different nature to interact here. Thanks for the clarification.

No, probably not. Sorry.
