    Description: Have you always had questions about Christianity, Islam, or Judaism that you were too afraid to ask? Now you can get your questions answered, and meet people of a wide variety of faiths, in this group led by the authors of the bestselling book THE FAITH CLUB. The book tells the story of Priscilla, Ranya, and Suzanne: three women of three different faiths trying urgently to understand each other in the wake of September 11 and its aftermath. They’re not afraid to ask each other the hard questions about the other faiths — and you shouldn’t be either. THE FAITH CLUB is the November 2007 featured book of the Exploring Faith Book Club. Sign up now to ask your questions and join the conversation!

    Description: With the political chaos and the ways of warfare becoming more and more frequent and casual we see our soldiers becoming more and more affected by it - not being able to make sense of all the death around them - not being able to find within themselves or members of their community adequate support to meet the continuous eroding of the ideals which casued them to become soldiers in the first place - and, ultimately, the loss of self-esteem that manifests itself in a desire to end it all or to beocme a personal force for even more chaos, destruction and death. As I believe that in every human being their is or should be inestimable value which should preserve a person through the darkest of times, I beleive there should be a place on BeliefNet where persons can anonymously discuss these deeply personal issues and share their personal hell with their fellow human beings so that we may comfort each other and build back into our soldiers what war has taken from them. It is not a place to criticise our soldiers or to mock their accomplishments. It is a place where soldiers may speak freely about their experiences and draw upon the resources of the BeliefNet community and it various cultures and traditions to provide that which will help them regain their self-esteem and loss of personal value which is a direct result of continuous warfare in its many modern guises. Attacks on soldiers will be deleted. Criticisms about the methods of warfare will be deleted. Political, religious and nationalistic polemics will be deleted. This forum is for helping individual soldiers and not for discussing the wars in which the soldier performs their duty. I don't know if anyone will participate but the fact that this forum is available is enough.
