We do the same at the IOP(Intensive outpatient program) classes i go to. We are all different but we have a place to go to to discuss something in common,( that is CFS3). That is what makes SOH my go to place. We can pray for anyone with out being "preachy" . Even in my own family i don't talk about politics/religion,(there are websites for politics and other sites for religion,keep it there).
