Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I am aware that not all the women on these boards are Christians. I happen to be devoted to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but I am always interested in learning what others believe. I intend for these forums to be inclusive so we can give and take what works with one faith and include, or exclude it within our own. I have read lovely inspirational posts in these forums from women who have differing beliefs. I'm hoping this forum allows everyone an opportunity to share what they believe concerning their God. I want to thank Meredith and DJ for suggesting this new forum. Also, thank Meredith for naming it and giving me the subtitle.

I hope this new forum opens up many enriching and inspirational discussions amongst people of all spiritual backgrounds and leanings. I too have a profound Christian-based faith, but my faith has been deepened, enriched and graced by the wisdoms, spiritual experiences and inspirational tools that I have discovered, and incorporated into my own faith, by talking with and listening to other people steeped in their own respective belief systems. Unity in diversity. It might be our best hope for true peace.

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Thanks Dotsie for starting this new forum! I wanted a spiritual forum where everyone could feel at home. Did you know that almost every religion has some variation of "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you"? I'm interested in what unites us, not divides us. I also volunteered to be the hall monitor, but I don't see my name up. Anyhow, welcome all Boomer women to the new forum! [ August 27, 2005, 06:49 AM: Message edited by: meredithbead ]

Songbird Member Registered: 06/03/04 Posts: 2830 Loc: Massachusetts, USA	Dotsis: This openness to share our different views without judging certainly makes this forum special. Love and peace trascend all barriers of religions, faiths, etc. We all yearn to love and be loved and generally speaking, I don't think I err I if I say we all wish for peace individually, among each other and between nations. May this forum be a safe haven where we can celebrate our differences and learn to love each other for their uniqueness as a human being, regardless of their belief or spiritual orientation. Blessings!

Pattyann Member Registered: 07/08/05 Posts: 245 Loc: Ocala Florida	Thank you Dotsie- and Meredith Dotsie you said that this forum would be a place to share what we believe about our God- there are a tiny few of us who believe in a feminine force - the Goddess And you are right Meredith that " do unto others" is a part of many faiths The basic tenet of my beliefs is HARM NONE and I also believe what you do comes back to you This should be a good place

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Ah, the Goddess factor. When Hay House was working on my book as far as editing, there was a sentence about God and she added "or Goddess" and at first it kind of bothered me but only from the standpoint that it might offend a Christian reader. But, I've come to embrace the word now. I am the Goddess Dianne, lover of fine food and good wine!

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I like "Harm None" better than "Do Unto Others", because doing unto others what one would have done unto them doesn't always work in a positive way...unfortunately it still leaves room for abuse. But "Harm None" is straight-forward and leaves no room for misunderstanding.

Pattyann Member Registered: 07/08/05 Posts: 245 Loc: Ocala Florida	Ah,Diane- "The goddess factor" Sounds a little catty- I would not judge your beliefs-or act as if they are not deeply held and well thought out . Seems to go against the intent of this forum- Blessed be all And goodbye
