Hi Daze........ I completely agree with you. Faith and
personal beliefs is a personal matter,
and where ever we place our trust it helps us through the
day.

My gripe relates mainly to the people that from time to time
are trying to make a buck on these
personal convictions, whether it is by presenting bogus
"proof" of healing or not.
What's personal is personal and should remain that way. A
specific list like this should include
information and testimonials, not propaganda or commercial
activity. Here, pragmatism is helpful.

It is useful to read about someone's attempt at new
therapies etc. be it magnets or whatever, or
read about how someone's faith can help cope with illness.
It is NOT however, helpful to anybody
to be bombarded with "proofs" and "claims" to the effect of
either.

In other words: If the 1000 dollars you spent on magnets
makes you feel better..... good for you
and feel free to share it, but when you enter the pyramid
and start selling them, this is not the forum
from which to supplement your income. And if you're
convinced that god fixed your spastic bladder,
tell it to the world..... just don't ask me to send you 5
bucks to have mine fixed the same way.

Fair enough?

Cheers to you!
