    It has been alluded to by more than one person that atheistic arguments are not religious arguments, but rather anti-religious arguments, and that this forum was set up as an area for specifically pro-spiritual posters. The title does nothing to dispel that conception.

    I agree with both your posts (though I never saw the circle as a halo). I would suggest something like Faith and Reason (or Reason and Faith), since not everyone makes a clearcut distinction, and that presumably could be a topic for debate.

    I take that as a compliment to be mentioned with Rwingett, thanks. 😀

    But let's get the facts straight for the record. I did not start posting in the forums with the idea of how to piss off devout Christians. Like many, some of the more inarticulate zealots made remarks that I took to be personally offensive. I reacted and I will probably be even more vicious next time (consider yourself warned Darfius).

    I don't have a problem with the name, I think it covers the multitude of topics that could feasibly be termed "spiritual" as the description beneath the name implies. I think somebody could start an Astrological Horoscope column here and perhaps arrange the occasional Séance! 😉

    I found this post way back on page 109, and I thought I would reply.
    This is such a great idea. Why didn't they change the name to this?
