Brand new here....

[Anxiety5]

Hi. I’m new here and have been reading through many posts,mostly fairly recent though.

I have yet to read any that anyone mentions any religious faith and if it plays a part in helping?

Are we allowed to talk about such things here? Like I said I am new.

Thanks to everyone!

Hello Anxiety5!

We’re really not supposed to talk religion because it offends some. My spirituality is at the top of the list for me regarding my recovery from depression. Anytime you want to discuss your faith in any detail, feel free to message me and we can privately talk freely about religion! I understand your surprise! 🙂❤️🙂

Thank you! It seems odd that folks are offended by any kind of Faith..

And I don’t understand the offensive part, ut I will gladly email you and we can talk!

I’ll do so this week!

Private messages. Why can’t the offended people just skip the conversation... “oh this doesn’t involve me, let me move on and find people to connect with.” -loveupclose 💗

I need to reconnect to God. There’s an awesome church where I am but social anxiety and small towns don’t mesh. 🧠

Hello wyet!

You don’t have to go to church to be spiritual and connect to your higher power. You can do it from the comfort of your own home! I have a daily devotional that jump-starts my day! Actually going to church isn’t required! 😲🌺😲

Hi the reason why religious talk is frowned upon is because this isn't a specifically Christian site, but is open to all faiths including atheists or agnostics like myself. For example I don't think you would like it is someone came in preaching about the Koran!

Religious talk too like politics and sex are often contentious issues to many so best avoided in a place like this. There is nothing wrong in saying you are a believer but too often others will come in quoting from the bible and start preaching, or find it incredible that someone doesn't believe. Or worse trying to convert you! There have been a few of these here.....

Oh and one other thing - whilst HU is a British platform I am aware this site is USA based. Many like myself (UK) are from other countries and we Brits don't 'gush' or preach about our religion and we can find it very embarrassing. It's not part of our culture.

I am sure there are plenty of God sites to share your faith on! x

Hi and thanks for the imput. I wasn’t planning on sharing a faith or talking it. I was just wondering. Thanks for you answer!

I look forward to spending time here.

Why did you assume I was Christian? I didn’t say anything about that.
