Arlee,
I am a Christian, and am not shy about communicating that in various threads when it is appropriate. However, I limit discussions about my religious beliefs to the Religion subforum, where such threads are welcome.
This has worked out well for me for over 2 years. I do not in any way feel limited, judged, or persecuted for my beliefs on this forum. Instead, I have found great encouragement along with an amazing amount of useful information and support.
There are many here who have different religious beliefs. That is their right and I believe they should feel as free as I do to pursue their beliefs.
I encourage you to stick around. This is great place because of the people that participate. You could make it even better with your participation. While you will receive much by participating, you will give more than you know.
Steve
