I just noticed a closed thread labeled "PRAYER" Why is that we need prayer in all we do please give an explanation although there seems to be none.

    Threads like that get closed because they're guaranteed to go down the tubes very quickly. Might as well pull up the lawn chair, make some popcorn and watch the sh*tshow.

    I don't understand either! If it helps people with their weight loss journey, why not?

    I admired the folks in the other thread for their faith. I've kind of lost it the past few years with my daughter's illnesses. I'm always striving to get it back because I believe it helps in ALL aspects in life. <3

    You'll find the bolded is your opinion - not fact - and proselytising is pretty much banned on these boards anyway. Sorry, best keep your personal religious beliefs exactly that - personal. Good luck with your weight loss though!

    BTW, there was a very clear explanation about the closure of the other thread from the mod at the bottom of the original post - probably best to read that.

    Some people pray and I talk to my cat. Both actions seem to have the same effect.

    I prefer George Carlin's view on this sort of stuff.

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. This discussion is welcome to continue in groups.

    The forum guidelines include this item:

    15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums

    Divisive topics and posts, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion.


    If you would like to review the forum guidelines, please visit the following link:

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.

    With respect,

    psuLemon
