        OUR REASONS FOR A SEPARATE FORUM:

        Quote from Morality & Religion Forum Thread / Rules of Posting:
        User Image
        Magic is like prayer
        Witchraft is like practicing a doctorine
        'Supernatural' : like Gods, Goddesses, Spirit guides, spells etc are just like Deity of any religion and practices thereof.

        We do not want to debate if our faith is a religion or if it's supernatural.
        We are a religion and our religious dealings are not to be classifies as Supernatural any more than a Catholic or Baptist.
        Morality & Religion also opens us to the attack that by users that we are not a religion. Most likey due to the fact that gaiaonline holds the idea that we are not a religion.
        Our topics get disrupted with this same debate. Catholics or Baptists or any other religion does not have to face this debate in their topics because gaiaonline accepts other Christain/bible, Budist, Hindu, or even Muslim faiths as religions. We should be accepted as religions as well and not have to defend this in our posts so our posts subjects are not disrupted.

        1. Christianity clearly opposes Wicca & Paganism, so we do not belong in their thread. Being in their thread would create conflict rather than discussion.
        2. Supernatural by definition is not the same as a LIFESTYLE or a RELIGION:

        SUPERNATURAL DEFINITION

This, I can get behind. Maybe now there'll be a place where I can find out where my beliefs lie.

Where is the Christian thread; the Morality & Religion forum is for all religions?

i think this should happen as well as for other religions and such as well. supernatural doesn't equal religion/faith to me at least.

Although I think it to be an even better idea to separate the Paganism forum into its major derivatives as well! (since certain forms of paganism or pagan-derived faiths sometimes do not get along)

I agree I'll sign.

I wouldn't mind to see that all more popular religions/faiths have their own forum.
Right now the religion and morality forum is full of bickering and no one from any belief can make a thread without having the thread flooded with people trolling or saying that they are wrong for believing in whatever they believe in. It's really sad to see and it makes me never to want to post in that forum. Sure we have guilds but since you (Gaia) wont update them people aren't wanting to use them as much.
