The Upper Room
My name is Frank Holmes I am a Chaplain and I am 62 years of age and have been a premium member of this forum from almost the begining. I have asked Jonnyb if I could post this out of respect for her and this forum.
We have a special forum room, called the Dungeon where people post and talk about nearly everthing, some naughty and not so nice. in the past I have been told If I wanted to talk about God or Jesus then I should post it somewhere other than in the Dungeon. Well here it is.
I would like to have a forum room called the Upper Room where we of faith and values differ can post prayers, and talk about family and Jesus without persecution and malice. I know there are those who have joined this forum that feels this way.
If you do? Please let us know by posting on this thread and if we can get enough interest, maybe we can have our own room. This is not a rebellion, but a simple request and need in my life beacuse of this wonderful American HHR forum.
Let me be the first by saying, I am not ashamed to say that Jesus is my Lord and Savior and when I pray, I pray believing all things are possible with God through Jesus Christ my Lord.
Let me be the first to ask prayer for my wife and myself as we go through this difficult time of treatment for cancer of the prostate in my body.
Humbly Asking? Servant, Frank

I'm more of a spiritual person than a religious person, but I have no problem with this either as long as this doesn't turn into what religion is best, or if we start comparing religions, then there wouldn't be a reason for this forum.

I have a HUGE problem with it. It will turn into a huge religious fight because there are so many religions and each person has their own beliefs. The idea is highly offensive. The Dungeon is nothing more than an extension of the lounge where only us premium members can post. You are supposed to seperate god and state so you should really seperate god and cars. There are several religous forums so you don't need to turn a car forum into one. Frank you need to realize not everyone shares your beliefs and some find them either ridiculous or offensive. Bad idea from the start! 
Besides how many other car and truck forums do you see with a religous room? 
None and there is a reason for that!

I agree w/the Captain - any 'net search will return thousands of religious forums that people can post to - perhaps a middle ground would be to post a link at the bottom of one's signature that might link you to a religious forum? The bottom line is, I believe we all joined to share ideas on the HHR and HHR-related stuff. Religion is great, as is driving and owning an HHR, but having a choice as to where to post topic-specific ideas is better!

...does that really belong here?....my opinion.... no But in all fairness... the Dungeon does state that ANYTHING goes.... I do believe there are still guidelines to adhere to though.
bandwidth.... bandwidth.... bandwidth.... bandwidth.... bandwidth....
if it does end up approved,,,..if ya dont want to read about it, then dont open that thread....
I personally wouldent open a religious thread. I'm dident join and pay for PREMIUM services of this board for those matters.
