ive read Gloriajean's thread was closed since its religious. As many others have said, there is nothing  in the standards that says we can't post about faith.

 

since you are removing threads that are deemed religious, you need to remove Kristne's blogs about the blessing of her adopted son, Dan Wheelers'  blogs about his late wife Cakes and their strong faith, especially the emotional entry about her going Home to God; Jennifer Coffeys Mantras, Samdra Bennet's blog about being Married by Dan Hughes (since he's dressed as a man of the cloth) and there are probably many more blogs if I wanted to keep digging. 

 

This is is not meant to be argumentative. I just want you to consider another perspective. I read those blogs and was especially moved by Dan Wheelers journey with his wife. I still read Lisa Mason's Facebook posts about their faith and how it's important to them.  It's also important to the people who post here as well. They were a nice safe place for people to post as are many threads on this forum. But people asking for prayers and sharing positive messages is needed. It is a part of us who want to be there for people and lift them up instead of tearing them down. 

 

 

You created a home for Gamers; maybe you can create a place for people of faith?

@makeup addict

Well written with respect. 

As I understand the gamers section, you have to request to be added and it is not visible to others?

@butterfly123 hi, not sure how the gamers thing works since I'm not a gamer. There has to be a compromise.  Yes this is a shopping site, but the most important shopping season is Christmas. Before Santa, there was a manger. Before the Easter bunny, there was a cross. 

 

Passover, I believe is the most important day in the Jewish faith.  All people of faith should be allowed to mention prayers and blessings. No one is trying to recruit anyone or talk trash people different faiths.

@makeup addict

Please look at my posts and you will see I am all for your idea. 

The reason I brought up the gamers thread is because it is not visible to others. 

I'm 100 percent behind your idea because it is the solution!

Much appreciation to you!

I just want to say that I'm not religious, and I have never read your posts. However it is everyone's free choice whether or not to read posts, and I don't think that you are being treated fairly. When they use religion to sell things, I guess that's all right.It's sad that something that provides comfort was taken away. No one was forced to read it.

I am not religious, and I feel it is fine for people to have a nice, safe place to communicate.  I also loved Dan Wheeler's blogs about his wonderful wife.

I was moved by everything he shared.

I wish the moderators would be able to have a more open-minded, less reflexive, prospective.

Your opinion, @makeup addict, and @QVCkitty1 was well expressed.

I totally agree.

Quite a few hosts say, "I am blessed/you are blessed/we all are blessed."  And Dan Wheeler ends his tv time with "God bless."  So if the posters can't express their faith, then same should apply to hosts.........

Re: Question for Mods

[ Edited ]

I propose that the Q stop selling Christmas, Easter, and angel products in order to abide by their forum standard.
