It must have been bad, that is why you couldn't hack it any more and ran away screaming like a little girl. ;D

I'm just being honest here. I have a hard time understanding where the line is drawn. I see its mentioned about religious discussion. Say someone is talking about a bow or item being "good medicine" is that considered religion? Or is is it references to "mother nature" These are both highly religious I agree but hardly offensive. Im just not sure what you are referring to. Is it mentioning God or prayer? These are pretty much the same comparison but also hardly offensive. So if we cant mention religious things then we need to define religion itself to make it clear. In my opinion your Religion is simply what you believe in. If you dont believe in religion then thats your religion. If you believe in whatever theory it may be then that is your religion. This guideline makes it pretty hard to avoid discussions that contain religious beliefs. I think the rules should simply state DONT ARGUE ;D

Jesse, we recognize a difference in spiritual and religious. A good example is prayer requests are spiritual because you can choose to prey to whatever God, Being, Power, Creator, or whatever you choose. Good Medicine is often thought of as a Pagan idea. But when someone says Good Medicine, you could interpret that as good karma, atmosphere, aura, fate, feeling, kismet, power, vibrations. DON'T ARGUE can be interpreted differently. Some people call it debate while others call it just plain rude. The truth of the matter is that some topics will always end in fights, so they are better left out. We are thinking long and hard on how to address this issue to allow for comunity discussion while keeping the peace.
Jesse:
10/4 Good luck :)
