I am surprised you gave an explanation, can not object to that.  It is my opinion you can have more success by talking rather than issuing a blanket statement, that turns more people away.  Personally, I am not a drinker, but not for any religious reasons. Do not even recall how the subject got to drinking it was so long ago.  

The activity of message boards has diminished due to facebooks. I'm sure you see that on most message boards.  People use to say I chased everyone away with my posts, but now we know is was you and facebook.  

On a serious note, maybe you could consider trying some actual conversations on the religion forum, I would join in as a few others might also. Would you think that would be a good way to talk about God, instead of a challenge to say a prayer?  Its one of the chicken before the egg things, where people will listen it you talk to them instead of dictate or preach. If you want to help people find God, maybe its a better way?

I've said it before -- there is no point complaining about the lack of posts on a board, if you simply only post about the lack of posts, then don't come back for months at a time.

The concept of going to heaven when you die was stolen from Buddhism by Catholicism. The New Jerusalem descends out of heaven from God to the Earth.
