> If what you state is true, that this board is so focused on One God as the creator of everything, then explain to me why I've been blocked many times (32 weeks in total the last time) for stating my faith in that One God, Creator of everything?
*** NikkiT2 was not refering to the board but the people who post that "there is only one God".
The board states:
This is a message board for mutual support and education. It focuses on religious faith (which, according to the dictionary, means "the service and worship of God or the supernatural").Can the supernatural include those who are not interested in God?
> This board is more in favor of relativism in terms of spirituality, not in the faiths which teach about absolute truth.

***Okay, what does this term "relativism" mean?
Who decides what is absolute truth?> Those who dare to speak of One God, the Creator of all, are eventually blocked - usually because others protest to the point that they must be silenced.
***do you understand why we feel the need to protest (as you put it)? Maybe there is discomfort with the concept of "One God"?
How can anyone religion own God?
> Freedom of beliefs here? I think not.***The lack of freedom, as you call it, is to impose the One God theory.
This world is filled with beliefs and faith.
I think it's so unfair to say your way is the only way to the real God.
I am upset by this concept.
I have spent so many hours pondering how to talk to you about this issue.
Finally I have said what I felt I needed to say.
I fear that you will not understand.
I am sorry if my inability to convey the message gets in the way.
I do care about you and what you think, feel and believe.
Do you care about my beliefs?
