I am quite glad for you.
However, your title and some posts here are simply squeezing me into an awkward position, caught between the rules and a hard place.
The rules have religion listed as a banned topic.
We don't allow doctrinal discussion, and we don't allow proselytizing.
You all know we allow prayer requests.
That is something of a dichotomy that is usually not too hard to deal with, but there have been some problems. Some self-declared atheists have used that prayer concession to express their views. When we have forbidden that, they retort with the fact we allow the prayer requests. Some have not been able to accept the fact that we make that indulgence and continued to espouse their views at times after being warned.
They were banned.
One of them could say, rightfully, that the title of this thread is a doctrinal statement, or even proselytizing.
"Thanks for the prayers" would have passed.
We walk a fine line here.
You all need to think about what you have here.
Stick to prayer requests.
Please don't ever push me into a policy change.
