As much as I have resisted in the past the potential segregation of newbies and "veterans" on this board, I am seriously considering creating a "Survivors" forum. It seems to me that we need to start being more careful of what we allow in the "Support" forum if we are to continue our stated goal of helping people who are leaving or considering leaving fundamentalism.My only thoughts for the "Survivors" forum is that it would be a place for anyone who is a post fundy survivor (which includes all of our veteran posters) to hang out andcommiserate. I suppose I would like to restrict conversation in this forum to fundy related topics, but only in a very general way. Thus, the connection would not have to be direct. It could betenuous, but reasonable. I'm just trying to give the veterans a place to hang out and talk about walk away related stuff without scaring away the newbies. In other words they don't HAVE to talk "support." But, it would be close enough to the front of the forum list (either number one or two)to be a main forum. I think the "Support Forum" has become the "main forum" much to our detriment.Any newbie could lurk to get insights from the survivors perspective of walking away. They could certanly post as well if they wish. Comments???

Or we could simply ask survivors to spend more time in the Lion's Den and leave the support forum to newbie support issues.

In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation.
