There was no intent on my part to force religion down anyone's throat. Everyone has the right to believe or not.
I've belonged to many clubs- political, civic, fraternal, and we always had something called "Good and Welfare" which was where we expressed well wishes for people who are sick. But it just didn't seem to grab me to create a forum called "Good and Welfare". Some people might not know what it is, for one thing.
At the same time, some of us connected with the forum happen to be religious. I won't single anyone out to protect their privacy. I am a religious person, believe it or not. Whenever people are sick or in need, I have offered prayers. I believe very strongly in the power of prayer. So, with only the notion to help those in need, I started this forum not long after the forum was going.
Like anything else on the forum, you can use it or not, at your discretion.
