Question:
Hello g and all – Have we said welcome yet? In case not: welcome. What you ask about is it okay to talk about G*d – I would like to say about, but for the sake of some who need for it to be spoilered, I am going to spoiler. I will say, though, that I often feel that all kinds of things – like maybe just about everything – is pretty okay to talk about here, given proper treatment, but I do feel kind of like a pariah when it comes to talking about matters of f*ith. That’s because – well, it’s the same out in the rest of the world: people misunderstand, have preconceptions, etc. You say "I am not a B*ble thumper," and I can’t say what you mean by this, but maybe what you mean is that you are not someone who wants to push your views on other people? I don’t, either – but often I feel as if my own views are pre-judged. Well, more below, I guess – for anyone who is interested. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 But what to say? I do feel very constrained here – in a way which is painful, because spiritual matters are very deeply entangled in all the aspects of who I am, and I have to kind of couch things in such a way so as to keep that way back from the forefront, if I am to be able to talk about anything w/out spoilering it. There are a number of other people posting here right now who do have spirituality experienced in terms of "G*d" – so it isn’t as if we are alone. And I do understand that many people have been deeply, severely ab*sed in the name of "G*d" – and I consider that to be the most heinous of crimes. And I understand that many of those people do not have any desire for, or cannot tolerate, mention of G*d and spirituality – because for them, it has been an excuse for abomination on the part of ab*sers. Hideous. So I do understand the need to respect this as a trigger issue. Same as for me – certain kinds of medical procedures, and certain kinds of intrusions, are the biggest traumatic trigger. And I am grateful for anyone who is sensitive enough to spoiler those kinds of things. Anyhow – please *do* feel free to talk about G*d anytime w/me! You can email me if you want. I would like very much to have someone to talk to. I may as well let you know that, as circumstance would have it, my husband is a minister – he became ordained many years after we met and married, his ordination being about five years ago now. You will not find me to be moralistic, pushy, or even unconflicted about matters of fa*th. I am a spiritual seeker – that’s all. I often cry when I sing h*mns. That kind of thing. Oh, yes, and sometimes I have transcendental experiences. So – I don’t know if I’ve come anywhere close to addressing your question, but I thank you for asking it, so as to allow me to say some stuff that’s been weighing on me.
